Description
The Audio-Technica ATW-3212-C510EE1 is a professional handheld wireless microphone system from the fourth-generation 3000 Series, designed for presenters, lecturers, clergy, vocalists, performers, and production professionals. The system combines a rack-mountable receiver with a handheld transmitter fitted with the ATW-C510 dynamic cardioid microphone capsule. Its UHF operating band, true-diversity reception, and wide tuning range help provide reliable wireless performance for business presentations, educational facilities, houses of worship, live stages, and permanent installations.
The receiver offers automatic frequency scanning to help locate a suitable operating frequency, along with a dual-mode OLED display for monitoring RF signal strength, operating frequency, mute status, audio modulation, and transmitter battery information. Infrared synchronization simplifies transmitter setup, while the backup-frequency function allows users to prepare an alternate channel for quick switching if interference occurs. The receiver's balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4-inch outputs support connection to mixers, PA systems, and other compatible audio equipment.
The included ATW-T3202 handheld transmitter features an interchangeable capsule connection and the ATW-C510 cardioid dynamic capsule, designed for natural vocal reproduction and rejection of unwanted off-axis sound. Adjustable transmitter gain, a programmable multifunction button, and selectable 10 mW or 30 mW RF output provide flexibility for different operating environments. The receiver features a rugged metal chassis and half-rack mounting design, while the transmitter's metal construction and locking battery compartment are suited to regular professional use. Two AA batteries are required for the transmitter and are sold separately.
