Audio-Technica AT831c Condenser Lavalier Microphone

The AT831c is a miniature clip-on/lavalier condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. It is designed for quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television and other demanding sound pickup applications.

The microphone is intended to be worn on the clothing or used as an instrument mic for excellent yet unobtrusive sound pickup. The wide-range capability of the microphone ensures clean, accurate reproduction with high intelligibility for speakers and presenters as well as for instrument pickup. Its small size makes it ideal for use in applications where minimum visibility is required.

The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation. The microphone’s cardioid polar pattern provides a 120° angle of acceptance. The microphone includes a (10') permanently attached miniature unterminated cable. A recessed switch in the power module permits choice of flat response or low-frequency roll-off (via integral 80 Hz high-pass UniSteep® filter) to help control undesired ambient noise.

The microphone comes equipped with a clothing clip and windscreen.
