Audio-TechnicaPRO 70 Cardioid Condenser Lavalier / Instrument Microphone
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A cardioid condenser that clips to a lapel or mounts on an instrument. For speech, presenters and players who need hands-free miking.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Presenters, lecturers and video interviews needing hands-free speech
- Clipping to a horn bell, violin or acoustic instrument
- Theatre and worship where a stand is in the way
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studio vocal recording — a large-diaphragm mic does that better
- Anyone wanting one general-purpose mic for everything
- Setups with no phantom power or belt-pack input
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
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 02
Cardioid pattern
Unusual for a lav. Rejects sound from behind, so it fights feedback better than an omni clip-on.
Detail 03
Condenser element
Needs power. Check your mixer, interface or belt-pack supplies it before you buy.
Detail 04
Instrument-mount capable
Designed to sit close to a source, so the player can move without the level changing.
Detail 05
Wired XLR design
This is not a wireless system. It plugs into a cable run or a wireless transmitter with a matching connector.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cardioid lavs must point at the mouth — placement is less forgiving than omni
- 02Confirm connector compatibility before pairing with any wireless belt pack
- 03Clothing rustle is the usual problem — mount and dress the cable carefully
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use it with a wireless system?
Only if the transmitter accepts this mic's connector and powering. Check your belt pack's input requirements before ordering, as connectors vary between wireless brands.
02Lavalier or instrument mic — which is it?
Both. The same capsule clips to clothing for speech or mounts on an instrument, depending on the hardware you use to hold it.
03Why cardioid instead of omni?
Cardioid rejects sound from behind the capsule, which helps on loud stages and near monitors. The trade-off is that aiming it matters more.
04Will it pick up my whole band?
No. It is a close-miking mic meant to sit inches from one source. Use it on one voice or one instrument.
