Audio-Technica PRO9cW Headset Condenser Microphone

The PRO9cW is a miniature cardioid condenser microphone with a cW 4-pin connector, designed for body-worn wireless use in applications where directional discrimination is preferred over the placement tolerance of omnidirectional designs. The cardioid polar pattern provides moderate rejection of sound from behind the capsule, helping to reduce ambient stage noise, monitor bleed, and competing background sources in live reinforcement and broadcast environments.

Cardioid Directional Pattern

The cardioid polar pattern of the PRO9cW offers a directional advantage in noisy environments where omnidirectional capsules would pick up unwanted background sound from all directions equally. On stage, this translates to better separation between the performer's voice and competing ambient sources when the capsule is positioned correctly facing the mouth.

cW Connector and Miniature Design

The cW 4-pin connector provides direct compatibility with a wide range of professional wireless bodypack transmitters, and the miniature capsule housing is sized for discreet body-worn placement. The lightweight construction and flexible cable are suitable for long-duration wear in theatre, broadcast, and live performance environments where operator or technical oversight of placement is limited.
