Audio-Technica AT831cW Mini Cardioid Condenser Lavalier Mic

The Audio-Technica AT831CW is a lavalier condenser microphone that clips easily to clothing or an instrument, giving performers and presenters a clear, natural sound without tying them to a stand. Designed around a cardioid pickup pattern, it captures the source in front of the mic while rejecting stage bleed and room noise, so you can push the level higher before feedback becomes a problem.

Its high sensitivity and wide frequency response help voices sound full and articulate, and they let the detailed tone of an acoustic guitar carry through a mix. Many touring musicians use it as an alternative to a bulky instrument mic, and it also serves reliably for spoken-word events, corporate meetings, and worship services where an unobtrusive microphone is essential.

The factory-wired 4-pin Hirose connector plugs straight into compatible Audio-Technica bodypack transmitters, making setup fast during a quick changeover. If you prefer a cabled rig, the microphone can run on an external battery or standard phantom power, so you are covered in a variety of live sound and recording environments.

With a body that stays lightweight and low profile, performers can move freely for long sets without feeling weighed down. Whether you handle front-of-house duties, create video content, or play acoustic sets in intimate venues, this microphone delivers dependable, professional-level audio in a form factor that all but disappears on stage.
