Query: Not up to Sony standards.

I have to say that I have used Sony microphones for over 20 years of my career with great success, this has got to be the worst yet, audio pick up is minimal at best, don't rely on it for conference or large area use, it doesn't pick up well at all, have used on several different digital recorders to see if was the recorder or the microphone, definitely is the mic.Guess the only thing I can say is try Olympus, you might have better success.
