Audio Technica PRO-8HECW Headworn Microphone

Product Description

The AUDIO TECHNICA PRO-8HECW is a hypercardioid dynamic headworn microphone designed for wireless mic system applications. The hypercardioid polar pattern provides tight front-address pickup while rejecting off-axis noise from the sides and rear, making it well-suited for high-SPL environments or situations where stage monitors and ambient noise would otherwise cause interference. The headworn form factor keeps the mic element positioned consistently at the corner of the mouth, delivering stable gain-before-feedback performance that clip-on or handheld mics cannot match in active use scenarios.

This microphone is intended for use with compatible wireless transmitter systems in applications where hands-free operation is required. Typical install scenarios include live performance, broadcast, presentation, and production environments. A single unit is supplied per package. Installation and integration are typically handled by a sound technician or AV professional familiar with wireless mic system configuration and RF frequency coordination.
