The Audio‑Technica MB1k is a high‑output, rugged handheld dynamic microphone designed for vocal performance — whether lead vocals, backing, choirs, PA, or live stage use. Its cardioid dynamic element captures clear sound focused on the source while reducing ambient noise and feedback, making it a dependable choice for live singing, speaking, rehearsals, or small live bands.
Built with a durable all‑metal housing and a neodymium “Hi‑ENERGY” magnet structure, the MB1k delivers strong output and fast transient response. A silent on/off switch with magnetic “MagnaLock™” design helps avoid noise when toggling the mic, and the gold‑plated, corrosion‑resistant XLR connector ensures dependable, long-term connectivity. With its reliable performance and robust build, the MB1k is ideal for live stages, home studios, karaoke setups, or rehearsal spaces.
