Audio-Technica ATR1300X Dynamic Vocal And Instrument Microphone

Audio-Technica ATR1300x Dynamic Vocal And Instrument Microphone

Audio-Technica ATR1300x is a wired unidirectional dynamic microphone for vocals and suitable instrument use. It provides a handheld format with an on/off switch and a detachable cable in the manufacturer package.

Why Choose Audio-Technica ATR1300x?

The documented 5m lead terminates in a quarter-inch plug for an appropriate receiving microphone input. Verify the input’s electrical type and gain rather than assuming any quarter-inch socket is a microphone preamp. This is a wired microphone rather than a wireless or USB model. Adjust working distance and PA placement to balance voice clarity with feedback control during rehearsal or performance.

Key Features

• Dynamic element: wired vocal and instrument capture.
• Unidirectional pickup: focuses the microphone towards the source.
• On/off control: local signal switching.
• Detachable lead: documented 5m XLR-to-quarter-inch cable.

Best Suited For

Voice, performance and recording workflows using a compatible microphone input. Compare pickup pattern and intended working distance as well as connector type. A dynamic microphone can be useful near the performer, but it still captures the acoustic environment and needs enough clean input gain for the chosen source.

Setup and Connection Guide

Fit the microphone to a secure stand or suitable mount and connect its XLR output to a compatible microphone input. Begin with monitor levels low and set gain while speaking or singing at the loudest expected level. Work from the intended pickup direction and adjust distance for a useful balance of clarity and proximity effect. Position loudspeakers away from the main pickup area, mute unused channels and test the complete signal route before recording or public use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the supplied quarter-inch plug work in every instrument socket?

Connector size alone does not establish a suitable microphone input. Check the mixer or amplifier’s input type, sensitivity and gain; an instrument or line input may not provide the intended microphone-level workflow.

Does an ordinary passive dynamic microphone require phantom power?

A passive dynamic capsule normally operates without phantom power. Check any inline booster or other powered accessory separately because it may require power even when the microphone itself does not.

Does a directional microphone remove every background sound?

No. Directional pickup changes sensitivity by angle. Nearby noise, room reflections and sounds in the pickup direction can still be recorded. Improve placement and the recording environment alongside sensible gain setting.
