Audio-Technica AT803 Condenser Lavalier Microphone

The AT803 is a miniature clip-on/lavalier condenser microphone with an omnidirectional polar pattern. It is designed for quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television and other demanding sound pickup applications.

The microphone is intended to be worn on the clothing or hidden in props for excellent yet unobtrusive sound pickup. The wide-range capability of the microphone ensures clean, accurate reproduction with high intelligibility for speakers, presenters and other performers. Its small size makes it ideal for use in applications where minimum visibility is required.

The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power or a 1.5V AA battery for operation. A battery need not be in place for phantom power operation. The microphone includes a 1.8 m (6') permanently attached miniature cable. Its free end connects to the provided AT8531 power module via a TA3F-type connector. The output of the power module is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector. A 3-position switch in the power module permits choice of off, on/flat
response or on/low-roll-off (via integral 80 Hz high-pass UniSteep® filter). The roll-off position reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise. The microphone comes equipped with a power module, a clothing clip, a windscreen, a battery and a protective carrying case.
