A number of Audio-Technica professional microphones and cables are available separately, pre-terminated with a UniPak® input connector (see www.audio-technica.com). UniPak® Transmitter Antenna The UniPak® transmitter includes a permanently-attached flexible antenna. For best results, allow the antenna to hang freely and full length from the transmitter. If the received signal is marginal, experiment with different transmitter positions on your body or instrument; or try repositioning the receiver. Do not attempt to remove, replace or change the length of the transmitting antenna.
