Cathy,
The severe overload problem in which the vibrator (motor) continues to run has
nothing whatever
to do with the Olympus mike.
I can't help pointing out that, although this mike can be used, its frequency
is not at all
flat. If a recording is to sound as it should, considerable amount of
equalization must be used.
