Pencil Microphone For The ChatterVox

by Independent Living Aids

$84.95

Setup with instructions Plugging in and using the mic is straightforward, but it requires the user to already own a compatible voice amplifier and understand how to integrate the two. A short setup guide or product compatibility check is sufficient — no professional is needed, but it's not quite self_serve because it won't work out of the box without the paired amplifier.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

This is a small handheld condenser microphone designed to plug into personal voice amplifiers like the ChatterVox or Pocketalker, giving the user a directional mic they can hold, pass to a conversation partner, or wear around their neck. It's intended for people who need voice amplification but find headset or lapel microphones difficult to manage — whether due to limited hand function, discomfort, or simply preferring a traditional mic form factor. You're getting the microphone only — it requires a compatible voice amplifier (sold separately) to function, and it won't work as a standalone device. The on/off switch is a practical privacy feature, but at 4.25 inches long, it's a bit longer than typical lapel mics, which may make it less discreet in quiet environments.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
