HGM-2 Court Reporter Microphone with Built-In Battery Tester

Premium battery-powered court reporter audio for steno writers, digital recorders, and professional courtroom recording workflows.

The Martel HGM-2 is built for court reporters who need dependable, clear audio without a complicated setup. It is designed for professional steno writer recording, digital recorder use, and flexible courtroom audio capture.

Weak audio becomes expensive after the job.

If the recording is thin, distant, or buried under room noise, the real problem shows up later when you are reviewing, scoping, or checking testimony.

• ✓ Soft-spoken witnesses can sound too far away.
• ✓ Attorneys may turn away while speaking.
• ✓ Air conditioning and paper shuffling can bury important words.
• ✓ Weak audio makes review slower and more stressful.
• ✓ A weak battery should never be a surprise before a proceeding.
