Description
The Audio-Technica ATW-3211/831EE1 is a fourth-generation 3000 Series wireless lavalier microphone system designed for professional presentations, lectures, houses of worship, theaters, business environments, educational facilities, and live performance. The system combines a rackmountable true-diversity receiver, a bodypack transmitter, and an AT831cH cardioid lavalier microphone to provide clear, natural speech reproduction and flexible wireless operation. Its UHF tuning system offers a wide tuning range and 2,400 selectable frequencies for finding suitable channels in increasingly congested RF environments.
The included AT831cH cardioid lavalier microphone is designed for hands-free speech and instrument applications. Its directional pickup pattern helps reject unwanted background sound and reduce feedback compared with an omnidirectional microphone. The bodypack transmitter features a secure four-pin cH-style screw-down connector, adjustable input gain from -10 to +20 dB, a physical mute switch, and selectable 10 mW or 30 mW RF output power.
The ATW-R3210 receiver features true-diversity reception, automatic frequency scanning, removable BNC antennas, and a dual-mode OLED display showing operating frequency, RF signal strength, audio level, transmitter information, battery status, and mute status. Its rugged metal half-rack chassis supports portable rack cases and permanent installations, with included mounting hardware for rack installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What microphone is included with the ATW-3211/831EE1?
The system includes the AT831cH cardioid lavalier microphone, designed for hands-free speech and suitable instrument applications.
What is the maximum operating range?
The specified typical range is up to 100 m (328 ft) in an open environment without interfering signals. Actual performance depends on placement, obstacles, interference, and local RF conditions.
How many channels can operate simultaneously?
The manufacturer specifies up to 40 channels per band, subject to the frequency band, region, and frequency coordination requirements.
Can the receiver be installed in a rack?
Yes. The receiver uses a half-rack chassis and includes rackmount hardware for installation in a compatible 19-inch rack.
Can the system operate in every listed frequency band worldwide?
No. Frequency availability and permitted RF power vary by country and region. Confirm that the EE1 band is legal and supported in your location before use.
