Great Robust Sound for a Small Price

This mic system has greatly improved the quality of sound in my movies and video production for a medium size church. The system was purchased to replace a decent on-board Rhode mic but it more than exceeded expectations with full bodied and robust sound before sound editing. I would definitely recommend this mic for anyone who wants to improve on an on-board mic system. This system was also very simple to setup and use. I haven't found anything yet that I didn't like about this system.

Very nice wireless mic set

The system works pretty much as advertised. It worked through several walls at a distance of around 50 feet with no problem. I did notice a high pitch noise at first, probably interference since I was standing next to a Wi-Fi router, but cleared up within a minute once the system found a clean signal to use. The mic it comes with has a crisp sound to it, without much bass. Overall, this is a great wireless system for anyone looking for a balance between price and value.

Great wireless option.

This is a great wireless option that easily rivals the sennheiser G3. The transmitter is a bit bulky but manageable. While the lavalier itself does leaves much to be desired sound wise. I recommend buying this unit without the lav and getting a better quality mic if quality recording is what you are after. The range is good and have used it to well over 100 feet with no loss of signal or cutouts. I've experienced no interference even with many 2.4ghz sources near by.

Excellent clarity and excellent range

This is the third System 10 ENG-style wireless system I've purchased -- this one replaced a Sure non-ENG system that is going to be illegal in the next couple of years. I've LOVED the System 10 ENG systems -- I've found the range to be excellent, the clarity to be excellent, and the battery life to be excellent. No problems whatsoever in using these, and they are a superb value.

Good sound but...

They do deliver a good clear signal and sound. However the small micro controls on the side are black on black and impossible to read what they say. Usually you do not have to mess with them but when you do you can really mess things up.

Don't expect professional sound quality from this mic. It's simplistic functionality works against it, not allowing a certain bandwidth to be selected for the most robust signal. Had issues recording from 1/8 cable to FDR-AX100's mic jack. Works well with the Rode Vxlr.

I was in need of a wireless audio system for a webseries I'm currently producing as a one man band. The system 10 from audio technica was right in my price range and I couldn't be happier with how easy it is to use. The windscreens provided are garbage, however.

Great sounding mic and very easy to set up! Love that it finds the best frequencies automatically and it's already paired up. I have two of them and they work great with no issues. Only wish the lavaliere mic head was a bit smaller to make it easier to hide. The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars!

Reviewed by GEORGE on B&H Photo Video

I'm really not sure how to rate this product and that's why the 3 star rating. The system worked fine. However, it did not meet my needs. Let me explain: I bought this system because it's advertised to be able to handled up to 8 transmitters with 1 receiver. I thought this was a very good idea and would save me money. BUT, I learned after getting the AT10 that it can only receive ONE transmitter at a time. You must turn off all other transmitters except the one you are using. Frankly, I can't think of a situation where this would be useful, and certainly not in film-making. I returned the product without ever using it and exchanged it for 2 other wireless mics. ... More
