I was expecting same poor quality AC sounding hum. I monitoring honey bees so low frequency performance is important. I don't have to use noise reduction at all! I ordered two. I might order two more.(Update 4/7/2024 Great unit. I can not not over express how good the audio quality from this mic is. I use it to stream and record Honey Bees. A wind muff made this superb even in the wind. Every other mic I have tried has a low hum/noise in the same frequency ranges as bee hums and buzzes. However, definitely not directly weather proof. Ran for an entire year of direct exposure. I have a second unit. This would work great inside a protective compartment. I think inside a void in a camera mount housing is the intent. I am looking for a little plastic tip and then going to dip it in silicone. Thinking of an angle I can drill in entrance reducer block of wood that slips in the front of hive. I ORDERED TWO MORE! )

This review does NOT include a reasonable complaint about the microphones. They work and they work well. They have held up for over a year. I would get these again without hesitation.The first thing to consider is you will need to buy the cables that will allow you to use microphones. Some cables may come with fittings for these but many do not. I have seen BNC cables with 3 ends. The extra fitting is for microphones to use. The cost of additional cables is an additional expected expense. If you want sound then you have to buy both microphones and the cables needed to bring the sound to your recorder.Installation of the microphones confused me at first. Then I discovered that it was really simple. Unplug the power wire from your camera. Plug that power wire into the microphone power in plug. Next plug the power out end of the microphone into the power in plug of the camera use the other connector as required and you are finished. It was harder to figure out than it was to install.Why only 4 stars? At this price point we can not expect noise cancelling ability. The microphone can pick up a lot of wind noise. The solution is to make a windsock of some type that fits over the microphone designed to reduce or maybe even eliminate wind noise. This microphone is not only lacking a wind sock but no wind sock is offered as an extra cost option.I know adding a wind sock would increase the price somewhat. It would greatly improve the microphones capability if it was offered. Because a wind sock for noise reduction is neither included nor offered as an accessory I took 1 star off. If a wind sock was included or available as an extra cost option I would upgrade this to 5 stars.EDIT: These microphones have held up for over 3 years now with no issues. They are plenty sensitive. I still wish they offered a windsock to reduce or eliminate wind noise.

Ok well i first bought single mic in steel box.. loved it so much it made me buy another $299 security system because these mic's wich work better then the system itself.. I didn't even realize this was USA made company until arrival wich makes me want even more!!!:) Sorry back to mic's.. I then bought 2pk of each male and female mic w/o steel box because i have dome and "visor" camera's that can both hold/house these quiet small and VERY efficient mic's.. i thought i would need a mic for each cam but how efficient these work i only needed 1 mic for front and 1 for back wich accommodated front/sides/back of my 7,000 sqft property.. I could go on and on about these little mic's wich is enough alone but i will personally guarantee these will live up to my hype!! Must buy if u have security system or not because they also work awesome as standalone mic and very easy to hookup and hide if needed!! :)
