Digital camera reviews of Audio Technica ATR288W VHF Battery-Powered TwinMic Microphone System

Digital camera Review: A Decent Wireless System
Summary: 4 Stars

I needed a second wireless lavaliere mic system for my commercial and wedding videography business. This mic fit the bill pretty well. I had the benefit of already using a model that another producer owned and enjoyed using on indoor shoots, including one that he hired me to camera op and run sound on. The mic itself has a decent range, and is able to hold its clarity fairly well indoors. Once you run outside, or out of its range though, you can run into some serious interference. The option of only two different broadcasting frequencies also is a bit of a hindrance, but then again, when working at close enough quarters and indoors, this won't really be an issue for you. Also, the addition of the hand held mic was definitely worth the few extra bucks I ended up paying over the base wireless model without it. It's a pretty basic dynamic microphone, which means no batteries necessary, and it can be used with multiple different wireless units, like my Sennheiser Camcorder Wireless Body-pack System with ME2 Omni Lavaliere, or can be plugged directly into a mixer, the camera, or a computer for some dubbing work. It's not an amazing mic, by any means, but it's a good one, and works extremely well for filming well-wishes at weddings.

Summary of Audio Technica ATR288W VHF Battery-Powered TwinMic Microphone System

Audio-Technica?s ATR288W VHF TwinMic Microphone System with Battery-Powered Receiver and Transmitter is a multi-purpose wireless system that provides versatile performance for camcorders, karaoke, DJs, houses of worship, schools, meetings and presentations. This system is supplied with two microphones, the ATR35 omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphone and the ATR20 unidirectional dynamic vocal/instrument microphone. The compact, ultra-lightweight transmitter and receiver are each powered by a single 9 volt battery.
Whether you're producing videos, leading aerobics, or putting on dramatic works, you'll find usefulness and versatility in Audio-Technica's 2-mic multi-purpose ATR288W wireless microphone system. At the heart of the system are its microphones, AT's ATR35s miniature lavalier condenser microphone and the ATR20 dynamic handheld microphone.

Either mic may be plugged into the supplied transmitter and fed wirelessly (using FM, or frequency modulation) to the receiver and on to your mixing console, tape recorder, hard disk, or other device. Use the system with camcorders, karaoke setup, DJ systems, houses of worship, schools, meetings, or presentations.

The ATR35s (frequency response: 50 to 18,000 Hz) provides "hands-free" use and comes with a lapel clip and a tiny, custom-fit windscreen. The ATR20, meanwhile (frequency response: 80 to 12,000 Hz), is perfect for uses such as singing, talking, and other situations requiring mobility and durability.

The compact, ultra-lightweight transmitter and receiver are each powered by a single 9V battery (not included), on which they last for about 8 hours. The system's normal operating range is 100 feet, though you may get transmissions of up to 300 feet under optimum conditions.

Two user-switchable transmission frequencies and a durable, rubber-coated, flexible receiver antenna assist you in securing interference-free operation. The system comes with a monaural earphone for real-time monitoring, as well as a transmitter belt-clip and a reliable camera-mount adapter for easy positioning and use.

What's in the Box
The system includes 2 microphones, 1 mic rest, two .25-inch adapter plugs, 1 condenser-mic battery, 1 condenser-mic tie clip, 1 condenser-mic windscreen, 1 receiver, 1 transmitter, 1 monaural earphone, 1 transmitter belt-clip, 1 camera-mount microphone adapter, a user's manual, and warranty information.
