O-Mini P48

from $150.00

The O-Mini P48 is a high-sensitivity, miniature omnidirectional electret microphone that captures usable frequencies up to 90 KHz (-10dB at 30kHz). These microphones are a good choice for recording subtle elements and active natural environments yet are also robust enough to be used on louder sources such as guitar cabinets and as drum overheads.

Available in: Stereo-Matched & Quad-Matched sets

The O-Mini P48 uses genuine Neutrik XLR connectors and requires Phantom Power (24v-48v) to operate.

Designed and hand-built in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Recommended Wind Protection:

(Click to go to website)

Low Wind: Twin Windbubble Lav Size 2

Moderate Wind: Medium Windbubble Pro

Moderate to Slightly Heavier Wind: Medium Windbubble Pro Extremes

For Heavy Wind, I would recommend using some sort of blimp system to create a more robust air barrier around the microphone.

FAQ

  • Presently, International orders (outside the USA) are limited to $400 USD per individual order. EU customers must pay their own VAT.

    The particulars of international orders are something I am still learning. I am currently using a service that will do all of the requisite customs work and then cheaply send packages worldwide, but they restrict their services to orders no more than $400 USD. For the time being, this lack of flexibility is one sacrifice I am making.

    I apologize for the inconvenience. From what I can tell, a single person could make multiple discrete international orders and be fine. While doubling up on shipping costs is less than ideal, ordering twice through this service is still cheaper than the other options I have found.

  • The current O-Mini P48 version is not compatible with 1/8”/3.5mm inputs.

    The O-Mini P48 requires a regulated voltage above what plug-in power (PiP) can do. Creating a PiP version will require design changes beyond simply hooking the microphone cable into a 1/8”/3.5mm jack instead of an XLR jack. With that said, making an 1/8”/3.5mm compatible variant of this microphone is one of my first growth priorities if the microphones start selling well.
