Used this product before and it works very well – Great Pick up Sound.The mic is very sensitive when the frequency and squelch are set. Picks up audio and voice very well when presenting. With a good audio system with good speakers, you can’t go wrong with this production.

Beware severely substandard wiresFor all the great things Audio Technica sells, these microphones are good quality with a fatal defect. Their wire is not properly shielded AND it always breaks at the point it emerges from the body pack. Their lifetime is severely limited by that, because, of course the wire is not a serviceable part.To try to prevent the fatigue failures we’ve had before, I reinforced the first one and a half inches of the wire at the connector with plastidip, making it thicker at the connector and tapering along its length. I’ve also instructed the users not to wrap the wire around the body pack after use, but to leave it free, in a straight line. I hope that results in a lifetime of more than a year for this microphone.With proper design, this recurrent failure mode just wouldn’t happen. Even cheap, substandard microphones, which this is not, use decent, reinforced, shielded wires. The little things matter, Audio Technica! I expect more from you.

Good microphone replacement for our AT Body Pack lavalier.Good microphone replacement for our Audio Technica Body Pack lavalier. It was plug it in and turn it on.It sounds good and works great as a replacement for our previous microphone that had the cable finally go bad after 10 years of weekly use. You do need to be careful where you place this microphone on the person speaking to avoid sounds of movement but still get the voice well, but that’s not unusual for these. We use this in a church setting, so we only really use them once a week.The cable on this microphone is a bit too long for our use, but it’s not too much of an issue. The cable length does give you lots of options on transmitter placement, but in a church setting it’s more of a nuisance than a help. Had they made it about a foot shorter I would have given them 5 out of 5.I heare that others have issues with durability, where the cable breaks from being bent too often right at the connector, and I suppose that with the longer cable it might be tempting to wind the cable around the transmitter and break it faster, but with proper care this shouldn’t be a problem. Just train you staff to not abuse the cable (you do train them on stuff like this) and you should get years of trouble free service.

Does it workI got this for our church as we already had an Audio Technica system 10 mic with head worn mic which kept bothering him around his ear. The church wanted to buy a new Lavalier mic system for him, but I checked and found this Lavalier mic which works perfectly with the system we already have. The Pastor is very happy now because his ear is irritated anymore.

Sound is good but the clip is notThe clip is a simple crocodile clip. It looks bad. You can not adjust it, you can not turn it. Does not like that at all.Wire is durable. it will last longer than cheap tiny wire.

So far works great.We bought it to fit with our Audio Technica mic system we’ve had for a few years now. The cord is a bit thicker than what we have, but the quality is very good on this mic. We’ve only used it 3 times now. So I can’t comment on durability yet. But so far everything has worked well and it was a 4 pin mic which was what we needed and it was compatible.

Better than expected.A very nice sounding mic for the price. I use it on a X32 for church services and the voice sound quality was surprisingly good. You do have to do some eq to take some tinniness out (I used a pretty big dip at around 600hz and another smaller dip at roughly 1k) and it was great!

Perfect companion for AT System 10 transmiterThis microphone has a cardioid polar pattern reception useful to reject not desirable sound sources and has Hiroshi 4pin Conector

A very good mic with good on axis directional response.Device worked well when centered in the middle of the presenters clothing. It’s very directional so if you have a preacher who moves their head back and forth, you”ll need to have them clip under their chin if they move their head a lot. Originally, had clipped to the left side of preachers shawl and would lose some dynamics when she moved her head to the right. This replaced a Audio Technica head set because we have a preacher with a very big head.

metallic and of good quality. ConnectorClip: metallic and of good quality. Connector: seems fine. Cable: flexible and a bit thiker than the one that came with original unipack omni mic. the strain relieve looks a bit delicate but so far so good. Mic: it is larger than the standard omni mic, has a plastic body. Sound: the timber is quite different from the omni and more natural. It works much better in noisy environment and provides less acoustic feedback with a PA but not enough to get rid of it completely – additional measures are required. in general, very satisfied considering the price.
