Great lapel mic for an incredible price

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2014

Verified Purchase

I purchased this to use during product reviews for my business. I have an actual mic (normal sized) but wanted something that I could use hands free and keep relatively inconspicuous so I purchased this mic after reading the reviews.

I did get a chance to do a sound test on my Nikon D5200 and must say it's a huge improvement over using the cameras internal microphone. This lapel mic is small and easy to hide and picks up your voice loud and clear. I was going to purchase a more expensive wireless lapel mic, but being as I will be using it indoors in a quiet environment on a green screen, I opted for this one.

The ONLY thing I wish this mic had was some sort of LED indicator to let you know what kind of condition the battery is in because as some other reviews have said, if you don't test out the mic before you start recording, you run the risk of recording silence lol

However if you can't take 30 seconds before you start recording to double check and make sure it's working, then I don't know what to tell you.

Very happy with this purchase.

This microphone will pick up voices fine. But they sound like they are at the end of a barrel not close up and rich. It is better than using the camcorder mic in a noisy ambient environment, but don't expect top quality audio from this product. You get what you pay for.

Great quality for the price

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2008

Verified Purchase

There are only two issues I would point out with this microphone:
1) The inline on/off switch with battery. It requires that you remember to turn on the microphone before use and turn off the microphone after use. You also need to keep a spare battery on hand.
2) It is a mono plug. I use the microphone to record interviews where I'm plugging the mic directly into my camcorder. Since the camcorder can accept stereo sound, the microphone by itself only records onto the left channel. An inexpensive mono-to-stereo converter (about $2) found at any Radio Shack solves that problem.

All-in-all this is a great little microphone. It is very inconspicuous on camera, picks up sound very well and the long cord is almost overkill for face to face interviews. If your subject needs to be mobile the cord would be a big drawback. However, if your subject is seated this is a perfect cost saving mic.

Replacement Windscreen for ATR35S

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2011

Verified Purchase

I would begin by saying, that I have used this microphone for over a year in outdoor conditions, and it has always worked faithfully, and with good results. I use it with a ZOOM H2 Audio Recorder, plugged into the external microphone jack, with the microphone gain switch set to high. I have the microphone clipped to my shirt collar. I use this for my audio hiking diaries. In this application, I find that, invariably, when I go to process the audio files, that they require a gain (volume) boost before publication. Though I would venture to say that a person with a naturally very loud voice would not need to do this.

I lost my windscreen for this microphone on a recent hike in an area where it was impossible to find. The windscreen has come off before, but in those situations, it was easy to find. In this situation it was impossible to find. Back at the office, I searched the Internet high and low for a replacement windscreen. Finding nothing, I contacted Audio-Technica directly via an email support form on their website. I got a response the next day, emailed them back with my credit card info, received a reply to that the next day, and received the replacement windscreens quickly thereafter.

Therefore, I can report to you that the windscreen for the ATR35S is available from the Audio-Technica parts department. They are $3.00 each plus postage. They will take a credit card, or can do a Paypal transaction. You can email Dave Webb at the parts department at dwebb@atus.com, or call him at 330-686-2600 Ext. 2730 before 5:30pm Eastern Standard Time.

I was very happy with the response from the Audio-Tecnhica parts department.

As a side note, I will seriously consider using some silicon glue to make sure this windscreen does not come off again. I have not done that yet, because I don't have any silicon glue. But no problem, I just ordered some Permatex 80050 Clear RTV Silicone- 3-Ounce (from Amazon.com], and I will update this review when this task is accomplished.

Windscreen Glue Update:

Before gluing the replacement windscreen onto the microphone, it should be stretch fitted over the microphone, and left on for a couple of days so it will retain its stretched dimension. A thin layer of silicon glue (the above glue worked just fine) should be spread in a very thin layer over the area of the microphone where the windscreen will slide over. Then, simply and gently twist and rotate the windscreen onto the microphone to where it covers the glued area. If you stretch the windscreen before hand, this is easy. If you don't stretch it before hand, it will be a messy job. The hole in the windscreen looks to be something less than 1/8 of an inch. The microphone is 1/4 of an inch in diameter. The first time you put it on, if you have glue on the microphone already, because of the initial tight fit, the glue will all squeeze out as you force the windscreen over the microphone. So, prefit the windscreen for a couple of days, before you apply the glue to the microphone. Glued in this manner, and having taken it into the field on a few additional occasions, I am confident that this windscreen will NEVER come off again.

For those who are buying this microphone for the first time, and your application requires the windscreen at all times, then you would do well to glue the windscreen on from the onset.

Get correct model

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2011

Verified Purchase

I actually have purchased two Audio-Technica products -- the first one, I would give 5 stars, this second one, 1 star -- the trouble is, they are supposed to be the same product.

The first purchase was an ATR-35s Lavalier mic 2 1/2 years ago -- this one worked fine. I then lost it on a recent trip, and attempted to purchase a new one. This second one was actually model ATR-3350, *not* a model 35s. Since I still had the box from the 35s, I could tell things were different -- the 3550 came in a different box, and had 3350 labeled on it.

Despite looking similar to the 35s, the 3350 had similar issues as other 1 star reviews -- the pick-up was not acceptable -- you had to hold the mic an inch away and speak up for anything to register. I tried a new battery, and three different recording devices -- they all had the same issue -- feeble audio pick-up.

So I'm returning my 3350 for a refund. Since there is only one company that will fulfill orders on this mic (Firemall, LLC fulfilled the last order), I'm hesitant to try again. I'm not sure why they sent a 3350 when I ordered a 35s -- maybe they are truly the same and I just got a bad mic the second time around. Anyway, 1 star for this go-around.

The good news is, the return will be fairly simple -- throw it back in the box, go through the Amazon 'return' wizard, and drop it off at the UPS store -- no cost because it's defective. Because it's still an Amazon purchase, despite being "fulfilled" by this other third party, return shipment is still easy and zero cost (not counting time).

For a very low price this mic performs exceptionally well. Very high level of background noise rejection and clear vocals. in fact I bought a second one as they are so effective and cheap.
