help Audio-Technica AT803 FAQ
Does the Audio-Technica AT803 need a battery or phantom power?
The AT803 can run from a 1.5V AA battery or from 11 to 52V DC phantom power. That makes it usable with compatible field recorders, mixers, and camera audio adapters.
Is the Audio-Technica AT803 suitable for an interview lavalier setup?
Yes. Its cardioid pickup pattern is designed to focus more on the speaker than on sound arriving from the rear, and its clip-on form factor is intended for presentations and interviews.
Is the AT803 a USB microphone?
No. The AT803 is an analog lavalier microphone and uses a power module rather than a USB connection. You need a compatible microphone input, recorder, mixer, or adapter.
What is the benefit of the AT803's cardioid pattern outdoors?
A cardioid pattern can reduce some sound arriving from behind the microphone, which is useful when a presenter is facing a camera or recorder. It does not eliminate wind or traffic noise, so a windscreen and careful placement still matter.
