Audio Technica AT8699R Microphone Desk Stand XLR3F-T

Product Description

The AUDIO TECHNICA AT8699R is a microphone desk stand designed to hold a microphone in a stable, fixed position on a flat surface such as a broadcast desk, conference table, or recording console. It ships with an XLR3F-T connector, providing a balanced low-impedance connection between the microphone and a mixer, preamp, or audio interface. This type of stand is typically installed by broadcast engineers, AV integrators, or experienced audio technicians in professional and commercial audio environments. The compact desktop footprint keeps cable routing clean and minimizes desk clutter in permanent or semi-permanent installations.

The AT8699R is suited for conference rooms, broadcast studios, houses of worship, corporate AV systems, and similar professional audio applications where a low-profile, stationary microphone mount is required. The integrated XLR3F-T termination simplifies wiring by eliminating a separate cable adapter at the microphone end. This makes it a practical choice for installations where a clean, finished appearance and reliable signal path are priorities.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed AV integrator or experienced audio technician. Before making or breaking XLR connections in a live system, mute or power down the connected mixer or preamp to prevent signal transients. Secure the base of the stand to the desk surface if required by the installation spec to prevent movement. Route and dress the cable in accordance with applicable AV installation standards to avoid mechanical stress on the connector.
