What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 01
Locks to Audio-Technica bodypack transmitters only; other brands need an adapter or a rewired connector.
Detail 02
Rejects sound arriving from behind, so wedges and side fill stay out and you get more gain before feedback.
Detail 03
Draws its power from the bodypack, so there is no separate battery or phantom supply to manage.
Detail 04
Mic-to-mouth distance stays fixed as you move, so level does not swing when you turn your head.
Detail 05
Reads less on camera and against dark hair and clothing than a beige headset.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Not directly. The cW connector is Audio-Technica's own. Other transmitters need an adapter cable or a rewired connector to accept it.
No. The condenser element takes its power from the bodypack transmitter it plugs into, so only the pack needs batteries.
No. This is the headworn microphone alone. You supply the Audio-Technica bodypack and receiver.
Yes. The cardioid pickup and fixed close position handle sung vocals, and both hands stay free for an instrument.
