Audio-Technica AT8420 Lavalier microphone clip

Product Overview

The Audio-Technica AT8420 lavalier microphone clip is a metal clothing clip engineered to position miniature lavalier microphones accurately on talent during presentations, broadcasts, and live events. This replacement microphone clip secures the capsule to clothing so commercial AV integrators can maintain consistent mic placement across boardrooms, houses of worship, and stage productions. Built to match Audio-Technica MT830 series lavalier microphones, it provides a discreet mounting solution for body-worn audio capture. Its black finish keeps the clip visually unobtrusive in on-camera and presentation environments.

Product Description

The AT8420 is a simple, durable metal lavalier clothing clip designed for use with Audio-Technica MT830-series lavalier microphones, including the MT830c, MT830cW, and MT830R. As a body-worn microphone accessory, it lets presenters, ministers, and performers keep a lavalier capsule fixed at a repeatable distance from the mouth, supporting predictable gain structure and intelligibility in commercial sound reinforcement systems. The metal construction stands up to the repeated handling typical of rental inventories and multi-user installations. Integrators specifying wireless body-pack systems often keep spare clips on hand to replace worn or lost units without taking a microphone out of service. The black color blends into common wardrobe and lectern setups for conference rooms, courtrooms, and broadcast studios. Because the clip mounts to Audio-Technica M7 case-style hardware, it is a direct-fit replacement rather than a universal adapter. This makes it a practical stock item for AV service departments managing fleets of lavalier microphones. You can find compatible lavalier microphones and related mounting hardware in our microphone accessories catalog. Keeping standardized clips across a deployment simplifies maintenance and ensures uniform mic positioning from room to room.
