Audio-Technica Wireless Mic on Amazon
I had a previous iteration of this product from Audio-Technica and was
very happy with it. The lavalier mic cable on it developed a bad
connection and when I saw a new mic was half the price of the new
system, I thought it'd be worth it to try an upgrade. For the past few
weeks it has performed admirably and I would definitely recommend.
Performance-
All
of my use has been within about 50 ft of the receiver. signal clarity
has been good and I've not noticed any signal degradation when using low
power. Depending on your use-case you may be farther, but I wouldn't be
surprised if most users would find themselves within this range. I've
been able to keep it the transmitter on low power which helps conserve
battery. I have come fairly close to the estimated 8 hours with moderate
use too. Something to note is that mine came with the gain turned all
the way up on the receiver. This was causing significant distortion from
clipping. I recommend having it at half power and doing amplification
with something external.
Build- Everything seems very sturdy for
the most part. The receiver has just enough heft to give you confidence
that it wont get crushed where someone less careful than you to drop
something on it. The antennas are quite beefy; you won't be bending
them. The transmitter has a good build and I like the design for the
battery door that makes it easy to get at but wont get worn out to the
point of falling off with extended use. The belt clip has a good grip
too.
Note on the lavalier clip- Some other reviewers noted that
the clips are fragile. Mine has not broken yet but I've heeded them and
been careful. Unlike the older version, this one is not all metal so the
plastic does provide a point of failure.
For amateurs and semi-professionals, I think this set is all you could ever need.
