Laptop microphone Nedis MICTJ100BK, wired 3.5 mm, 50–16000 Hz, -30 dB sensitivity, 1.8 m cable, black

The Nedis MICTJ100BK is a wired laptop microphone with a 3.5 mm connector designed for voice capture on notebooks and desktop PCs. The microphone offers a frequency response of 50–16,000 Hz and a sensitivity of −30 dB, providing adequate clarity for calls, dictation and basic voice recordings. Its combined metal and plastic housing and 1.8 m cable allow flexible placement on a desk or laptop while maintaining mechanical durability. The microphone requires low power (1.5 V input, 350 mA) and connects via a standard 3.5 mm jack for straightforward plug-and-play operation.

Advantages

The microphone’s wired 3.5 mm interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of laptops and PCs without the need for drivers. A balanced frequency range captures both speech fundamentals and intelligibility up to 16 kHz, while the −30 dB sensitivity provides reliable level pickup for typical voice distances. The metal-plastic construction offers a compromise between robustness and light weight, and the 1.8 m cable gives freedom to position the microphone at a convenient distance from the user.

How to use

Connect the microphone to a laptop or PC using the 3.5 mm jack. Position the microphone on the desk or attach it to the laptop so that the capsule is directed towards the mouth at a comfortable distance, typically 10–30 cm, to achieve clear speech capture. Select the external microphone as the input device in your operating system or application settings. Adjust input level or gain in the sound settings if available to avoid clipping while ensuring sufficient volume.

Usage recommendations

For best voice clarity, avoid placing the microphone directly in front of sources of air flow (fans or open windows) and reduce background noise where possible. Use simple pop protection (foam windscreen) if plosives or breath noise are an issue. When connecting to devices with separate microphone and headphone jacks, ensure the microphone is inserted into the correct input jack or use a combined TRRS adapter if required.
