Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pickup

Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pickup: Capture phone conversations with a recorder

Phone conversations are easier to capture with the Olympus TP-8 Telephone Pickup, an earpiece-style pickup for smartphones, landlines and OM System recording devices. Wear it while using a compatible recorder to pick up audio from a phone call, rather than relying on a separate microphone held near the phone. That makes it useful for recording an interview conducted by phone, keeping a record of a call, or capturing a conversation on a fixed-line handset. The TP-8 is also suitable for smartphone calls, so the same accessory covers mobile and landline conversations. Three pairs of interchangeable ear tips are supplied in small, medium and large sizes, giving you a choice of fit. It’s a focused accessory rather than a general-purpose headset: its job is to pick up telephone audio for use with recording equipment. Check that your recorder is an OM System model before choosing it for that purpose.

Why it is useful

• Telephone pickup format: The TP-8 is made for picking up audio from phone conversations. Pair it with a compatible recording device when you need to capture a call rather than simply listen to it.
• Works with smartphone calls: The pickup is suitable for conversations on smartphones. That gives you a way to capture a mobile-phone call using an OM System recorder, useful for phone interviews or other conversations you need to record.
• Suitable for landline phones: You can also use it with a fixed telephone. It covers a familiar desk-phone setup as well as calls made on a smartphone, without requiring a different pickup for each kind of phone.
• For OM System recorders: The TP-8 is compatible with OM System recording devices. That makes it relevant when you already use one of these recorders and need an accessory specifically for telephone audio.
• Three ear-tip sizes: Small, medium and large tips are included, with two of each size. You can choose among the supplied sizes for a more suitable fit while wearing the pickup.
• A dedicated recording accessory: The TP-8 has a specific role: telephone audio pickup for use with recording equipment. It isn’t presented as a general headset, so it’s best suited to buyers looking for this particular phone-recording function.
