To the naked eye, this pen looks completely normal, but it conceals a sensitive built-in covert microphone. When attached to an audio recorder it can be used to make completely discreet recordings of conversations and meetings.
It really is not unusual to arrive at a meeting with a pen clipped into a top pocket of a shirt or jacket. This pen microphone is designed to be worn in this way and with a suitable recorder attached it becomes a discreet audio surveillance tool.
Non-Working Pen – Wired connector
From our microphones and amplifiers range, the pen microphone can be utilised alongside any of our spy pens. Essentially the internals of a working pen have been removed and a wired microphone has been inserted to replace these, which of course renders the pen redundant as a writing implement, but still maintains its unobtrusive out shell. The wire from the microphone emerges from the hole where the pen nib would have normally been and at the end of this wire is a small jack plug to connect to an audio recorder.
Ideal for Recording Meetings
Although internal the microphone is fairly sensitive, it is still only best used to records sound and conversation in relatively close proximity of about 3 metres radius. So it is ideal for one-to-one or close-up conversations such as a meeting. It is important to have the pen on display to ensure the microphone is effective.
Audio Recorder Not Supplied as Standard
No special audio recorder is required for connection to the pen, but of course it is advisable that the unit is small enough to fit inside the pocket with the pen, so that it remains out of sight. If you do not have your own recorder already then we can supply an one if required (see voice recorders section for Voice Recorder Pro or Voice Recorder Ultimate).
