The Audio-Technica System 10 ATW-1701 is a digital wireless microphone system specifically engineered to meet the audio needs of vloggers, mobile journalists, and videographers. It provides an easy-to-operate solution with sophisticated technology to ensure reliability and high-quality audio for projects ranging from YouTube and wedding videos to corporate spots and interviews.

The ATW-1701 features a bodypack transmitter with a cW-style 4-pin locking connector, allowing you to plug in a compatible lavalier or headset mic of your choice. The camera-mount receiver connects to your DSLR or mirrorless camera with the included 3.5mm output cable. The System 10 operates anywhere in the world, transmitting 24-bit/48 kHz audio in the 2.4 GHz spectrum, well away from potential TV and radio interference.

This peer-to-peer system delivers three levels of diversity assurance—frequency, time, and space—for optimal performance at a range up to 100'. Just power up the components, and the receiver automatically seeks out a clean frequency and pairs up with the transmitter, saving you the hassle of scanning and syncing before a shoot. Up to eight wireless mics may be used on set at once.

Space Diversity: The receiver compares the signal showing up at its two antennas and chooses the strongest one.
Time Diversity: The transmitter sends the digital signal in two imperceptibly different time slots and compares the two.
Frequency Diversity: The digital audio is sent over two different frequencies at the same time and the system chooses the cleaner one.
For optimal performance, users are encouraged to maintain as direct a line of sight as possible between the transmitter and receiver.

The level control on the transmitter can be set to match the sensitivity of your microphone or audio source for distortion-free input .
The output level on the receiver can be reduced by 10 or 20 dB if you find you're overloading the input to your camera or recording device. The 3.5mm output can be switched to deliver either a balanced or unbalanced signal.
Both the transmitter and receiver are housed in lightweight, plastic chassis and equipped with belt clips. The included shoemount allows you to easily mount the receiver to your camera.
With just a quick press, the power switch on the transmitter doubles as a mute function. This function can be locked out to prevent an accident.
Conveniently, the receiver's LCD display shows critical information for the receiver as well as the transmitter—including battery status, signal level, mute status, and channel selection for both units.
An additional 3.5mm output on the receiver allows you to monitor your signal while recording—helpful if your camera doesn't offer a headphone jack.
The receiver features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides up to 12 hours of operation. Using the included power adapter, the battery can be recharged via USB in about 4.5 hours, while in operation.
On the transmitter's end, power is supplied by two AA batteries, giving you up to 7 hours of shooting time depending on battery type and usage.
With this peer-to-peer system, you can only use one transmitter and one receiver at once. However, up to 8 transmitters can be paired with the receiver ahead of time. This is useful in situations when you have multiple speakers, one after another, and you need to have them miked up and ready to go. All you'll have to do is turn one transmitter off and the next one on.
For man-on-the-street interviews or if you need to pass the mic between several people, you can add the ATW-T1002 handheld transmitter/microphone to your system.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. So what you're saying is the receiver has an internal battery that will need to be recharged? So it's useless until charged? Is the Li-ion battery replaceable on the receiver? Please say it is.

A: This transmitter runs on 2x 1.5 V AA (not included). Standard alkaline or rechargeable AA cells may be used. The receiver portion includes a 3.7V rechargeable Li-ion battery that must be charged prior to use. it is not user replaceable.

Q: 2. Can you use one transmitter with multiple receivers?

A: Thank you for your question. Yes, you can use multiple receivers with one transmitter.

Q: 3. Can I use it while it is charging?

A: Yes

Q: 4. will this work on a go pro???

A: The Hero2 has the necessary input port, but if you've got a newer model you'll need the GoPro USB to 3.5mm mic adapter - then you're good to go!

Q: 5. I already have a Rode PinMic that I use with a Zoom H1 for maximum discreetness when shooting weddings. Will the PinMic work with this system, or should I make sure to get the audio-technica lavalier?

A: the mic attaches by a unique to AT .. to my frustration my sony mics and sure mics will not work.Also odd with this system is the the the receiver uses 2 aa batteries (normal) the tranmitter pack must be recharged. (weird to me) I bought it for the neat antenna but I'd stick with Sony or Sure in the future. hope that helps. Pete

Q: 6. Is the receiver compatible with System 10 Pro transmitters?

A: Sorry I dont know

Q: 7. Can I use the AT 803 mic with this unit?

A: The Audio-Technica At 803 lavalier microphone will not connect to this wireless system. I would recommend the Audio-Technica AT899CW - Sub-Miniature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone, BH #AUAT899CW, which is a high quality miniature condenser clip-on microphone that has the appropriate locking 4-pin connector.

Q: 8. Can you use more then one of these systems at the same time?

A: Users may use between 4 and 8 Audio-Technica System 10 Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Microphone Systems in tandem.

Q: 9. I have AT 3000 series wireless microphones, are the connectors on my bodypacks compatible with the System 10 connectors?

A: I wish I could answer this. Right after I acquired the equipment some events happened that have prevented me from even trying it out. Sorry - I don't know.

Q: 10. Would this Audio Technical System 10 work well with Sony A7S?

A: Yes. Any camera that has an 1/8th inch stereo mic input. Keep in mind the input level adjustment is in an odd place under the battery hood. It can typically be left all the way up unless you are experiencing distortion. Otherwise you have to remove the battery hood and adjust it with this little tool. It has never been an issue for me, but just a heads up.

The ATW-17091/L really makes interviews much easier with the receiver attached to the camera, output connected to the camera XLR audio input. One cable 16 long! No extra batteries or power supply. It is all in one package. I bought the handheld Mic as well and switching from a body pack & lapel to a handheld takes less than a minute. Will be adding a second receiver to offer a second wireless system with another 16 cable! Very pleased with the ATW-1701/L System 10! 5

When I got these I was super excited to try them out. like a kid on Xmas I got right into the box and started checking it all out and to my dismay there was no lav mic. I didn't realize it's sold separately. When the mic came and I got to try it out I was impressed. The sound quality was great easy set up and no interference. I would recommend these but remember mic is sold separately 5

Having used until now UHF remote microphones in the $500+ price bracket, this solution is both more cost-effective and has some benefits. We cover events on many continents and authorized UHF frequencies are not the same across borders. There is also talk of the FCC selling some of the frequencies for other uses. The AT solution of using the Wi-Fi 2.4 band cuts though all that, and works well. The receiver is also intelligently equipped with both an audio-out connector to feed the sound into your DLSR, and a headphone socket to monitor the recording. If you have a Canon 70D or 6D, neither of which has a headphone output during recording, this is a real plus. 5

ANDREW	18/06/2024
I was very pleasantly surprised at how well this product worked. I bought it because of its small size, and because the receiver mounts to the top of the camera. It performed on par with the $2K Lectrosonics system i had been using before, but was much easier to travel with (size) and use (shoe mount). I am extremely happy. The product worked as advertised and exceeded my expectations. 5

Here is the link to the YouTube video that I just posted with 3 of the walk tests that I did with the System 10 wireless. The unit achieves better than expected range; easily delivering the advertised 100 feet. On multiple occasions, I was getting 150 to over 200 feet. (View and hear the video at http://youtu.be/SnudYcodS0U ) Again, bear in mind that these are low cost systems and not intended to compete against the high quality wireless that we use on major shoots. But for an inexpensive unit, they perform surprisingly well. I brought the system with me to the Cinema TV Arts Dept at California State University Northridge in order to shoot some more tests. CSUN has a soundstage for the film program that is approx 50 ft by 75 feet. Camera and the System 10 stayed in the rear corner, while I moved around the entire space. Even while hovering near a laptop and the lighting dimmer board -- the System 10 performed flawlessly. And, yes, there is WiFi in the stage. We went into the main corridor of the film/TV building (Manzanita Hall), which is dotted with electronic RFI emitters and WiFi routers (according to the department's Chief Video Engineer). The System 10 transmitted perfectly the entire length (approx 150 feet). Heading outside onto campus, on multiple tests we achieved 150 to 250 feet. Although we did encounter the occasional minor dropout on one or two of our footpaths, the unit was always reliable up to 125 feet; and depending on the pathway, sometimes good past 200 feet. I included one of those walk tests, where we made it 220 feet before the signal began to cut out. The aforementioned Video Engineer was curious about transmitting through walls, so I stayed inside thecorridor while he went outside and roamed around the exterior of the building. Signal held up nicely passing through just one exterior wall, but did drop out when he turned (still outside the building) 90 degrees from the corridor and thus placed multiple interior rooms in our signal path. 5

I use this primarily for lecture videos but I have used this for field recording as well. I have been as close as 20' from the receiver and as far away as 120' from the receiver and there has been no deviation in the sound. Also the lavalier mic that comes with this unit is awesome. It's omnidirectional and it gives a great sound. No need to tweak the sound in post. Overall, I am very happy with this wireless system and for the price, it simply can't be beat! 5

I use this for on-site music recording. Very easy setup and excellent fidelity of audio recording 5

anyonymous	30/11/-0001
So far so good. I use it with multiple cams and it is working just fine. I even use it with a consumer cam. The Panasonic HC-V750. Sounds great. Not sure how long the internal battery will last, but I'm very happy so far. 5

Ng	30/11/-0001
The System 10 is very easy to pair and ready to use right away. I can easily switch transmitters from the wireless lav to the handheld mic. 5
