Audio-Technica ATR1300X — Unidirectional dynamic vocal/instrument microphone

The ATR1300X is a handheld dynamic microphone for users who need clear speech and instrument sound in a body that survives constant handling. Its dynamic capsule and unidirectional pattern keep the pickup focused on the source and reject the rear, which helps keep feedback under control in karaoke setups, small rooms and presentations.

The body is metal and carries an on/off switch within reach of the thumb. The detachable cable runs 5 m from XLR to a 6.3 mm jack plug, so the microphone connects straight to a mixer, a sound system or the jack input of a domestic amplifier without extra adapters.

It ships with an adjustable stand clamp, so it is ready to use out of the box. With a 70 Hz to 12 kHz response and 329 g without cable, it is a sensible choice for spoken voice, karaoke and live instrument pickup.
