Microfon clip-on Audio-Technica ATR1200X

The Audio-Technica ATR1200X clip-on microphone is a unidirectional dynamic lavalier designed for clear vocal and instrument pickup. With a sensitivity of -59 dB and a frequency response spanning 80–12,000 Hz, it is engineered to focus on the sound source while reducing off-axis noise and feedback. The microphone uses wired connectivity via a 3.5 mm (1/8") mini-plug and includes a permanently attached 5 m cable. The ATR1200X is lightweight and compact, supplied with a desk stand, an adjustable stand clamp and a 6.3 mm (1/4") adapter for flexible setup with karaoke machines, computers and public address systems.

Advantages

The unidirectional dynamic capsule delivers natural sound reproduction and helps prevent feedback in live environments. A built-in on/off switch offers immediate control at the microphone, while the permanently attached 5 m cable provides reliable wired operation without the need for batteries. Its compact clip-on form factor and lightweight construction make it easy to position and comfortable for extended use.

How to use

Clip the microphone to clothing, instrument straps or a microphone stand so the capsule points toward the sound source at a short distance. Connect the 3.5 mm mini-plug to the input of your device, or use the supplied 6.3 mm adapter to fit standard jacks. Use the on/off switch on the microphone to control power during setup and performance. Positioning the microphone close to the source improves clarity and helps maintain consistent level while minimizing room noise and feedback.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the microphone capsule 5–15 cm from the mouth or sound source, avoid covering the capsule with clothing, and check input levels on the connected device to prevent clipping. When using PA systems, perform a soundcheck to set gain and reduce the risk of feedback.
