The Audio-Technica ATR1500x unidirectional dynamic microphone offers professional build and sound quality at an attractive price, making it an ideal choice for aspiring musicians. The mic's directional polar pattern keeps the pickup focused on the sound source, delivering clear, natural-sounding reproduction of vocals and instruments, while also helping to prevent feedback. The ATR1500x includes a detachable 5 m (16.5') XLR-to-XLR cable for use with live/studio mixers and professional sound systems. And its rugged metal construction and convenient on/off switch ensure reliable, easy-to-use performance.
