help Audio-Technica AT829cW FAQ
What connector does the Audio-Technica AT829cW lavalier microphone use?
The AT829cW terminates in a locking 4-pin connector designed specifically for Audio-Technica wireless systems. This allows it to plug directly into standard Audio-Technica UniPak body-pack transmitters.
Does the Audio-Technica AT829cW require phantom power?
No, because it is an electret condenser microphone designed for wireless body-packs, it draws its power directly from the transmitter. It does not require external phantom power from a mixing board.
What is the polar pattern of the Audio-Technica AT829cW?
It features an omnidirectional polar pattern, meaning it picks up sound evenly from all directions around the microphone head. This makes it highly forgiving of head movements during broadcast and voiceover applications.
Can I plug the Audio-Technica AT829cW directly into a standard XLR audio interface?
Not without an adapter, as it uses a 4-pin locking connector meant for wireless transmitters rather than a standard XLR jack. You would need to use a dedicated Audio-Technica power module or adapter cable to convert it for wired XLR use.
