Audio Technica ATW-1701 System 10 Camera Mount Digital Wireless Microphone Mic

The ATW-1701 is a camera-mount digital wireless system for video production, electronic news gathering, and any shoot that moves. The receiver is small enough to ride on a camera shoe without unbalancing the rig, and multiple mounting options fit a range of camera bodies and recorders.

Audio runs at 24-bit/48 kHz in the 2.4 GHz range, so the system stays clear of TV interference in any market you shoot in. Channel selection, sync, and setup happen instantly, which matters when a subject is already waiting.

Three levels of diversity assurance keep the link solid: two dynamically allocated frequencies, multiple time slots against multipath, and two antennas on each unit. Typical operating range is 30 m (100 ft) radius.

An internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery runs the receiver 12 hours, removing AA batteries from the receive side entirely. Selectable balanced and unbalanced output jacks with level control match most cameras and recorders, and a separate headphone port with volume control lets you monitor audio at the camera. A multi-pairing function links one receiver with up to eight body-pack or handheld transmitters, so a single receiver can follow different subjects across a shoot.
