FAQs

Do I need a battery for this microphone to work?

Yes, the Audio-Technica ATR3350XiS requires one LR44 battery to operate. The battery powers the internal preamplifier.

Can I use this microphone with my smartphone?

Yes, it comes with a mic/headphone adapter that allows it to connect to smartphones, tablets, and computers that have a 3.5mm headset jack (TRRS).

What is the purpose of the dual-mono 3.5mm plug?

This plug sends the same audio signal to both the left and right channels of your camera or recorder's stereo input, simplifying stereo recording for voice.

How do I attach the microphone?

The microphone includes a tie clip that you can use to attach it to your clothing, typically on your shirt collar or lapel.

Does this microphone work for recording music?

While it can capture sound, the ATR3350XiS is primarily designed for clear voice reproduction. For musical instruments, dedicated instrument microphones or other types of microphones might be more suitable.

How long does the LR44 battery typically last?

Battery life can vary depending on usage, but typically an LR44 battery provides many hours of continuous use, sufficient for most recording sessions.

What is the frequency response range?

The microphone has a frequency response range of 50 Hz to 18,000 Hz, which is suitable for capturing the nuances of the human voice.

Troubleshooting

No audio output

Ensure the microphone is switched 'on'. Check that the battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Verify the microphone is securely plugged into the correct input on your device and that the device's input volume is turned up.

Low audio volume

Check the 'on/off' switch position. Ensure the battery is not low. Increase the microphone input gain on your recording device. Confirm the microphone is positioned correctly near the sound source.

Excessive background noise or wind noise

Ensure the foam windscreen is attached and properly fitted. Try to minimize ambient noise sources in the recording environment. Position the microphone away from direct drafts.

Distorted audio

Reduce the input gain on your recording device. Ensure the microphone is not placed too close to a loud sound source, which could cause clipping.
