Audio Technica AT889CW Headworn Wireless Microphone

Product Description

The AUDIO TECHNICA AT889CW is a headworn noise-canceling microphone designed for wireless system use. It mounts on the head to keep the mic element positioned consistently near the mouth, delivering stable pickup even during active movement. The noise-canceling design works to reject ambient sound and background noise, making it suited for environments where intelligibility is critical. This type of microphone is typically installed by audio engineers and AV technicians as part of a broader wireless microphone system for live sound, broadcast, or presentation applications.

The AT889CW fits into professional wireless audio setups where a low-profile, hands-free mic solution is required. Typical applications include live theater, houses of worship, corporate presentations, broadcast, and educational environments. The headworn form factor keeps the mic element at a fixed distance from the talent's mouth, maintaining consistent gain and reducing the need for constant level adjustments during performance or speech.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed AV technician or experienced audio engineer. Before connecting or disconnecting the microphone from a wireless transmitter, power down the transmitter to avoid signal or hardware issues. Route the cable to minimize mechanical noise and secure it to clothing or the headset frame to prevent handling noise during use. Follow the wireless system manufacturer's pairing and gain-setting procedures after installation.
