AudioTechnica has broken the price barrier for exceptional audio quality and switchable-frequency UHF wireless. The new Freeway systems feature 10 selectable UHF channels and an advanced dipole antenna design. Each Freeway system includes the ATW-R600 receiver and either a body-pack transmitter or a handheld mic/transmitter. The receiver includes squelch and volume controls, along with AF Peak, RF and Power indicator lights. The body-pack transmitter features a professional locking connector and a dual-impedance input for instruments and mics. Just add your choice of headset or lapel mics, or a guitar cable (Wireless Essentials). The handheld system includes the ATW-T602 dynamic mic/transmitter. Both the handheld and body-pack transmitters operate on a single 9-volt battery, and feature a battery-condition indicator light, a 3-position Off/Standby/On switch, an internal channel selector and a variable trim control.

"Best"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
We plan to purchase an additional 1 or 2 identical mics in the near future.
Sound
Sound quality is well above average, but not the best that money can buy. It has a full rich sound and responds to my wife's voice, equally as well as, my bass voice voice.
Features
I purchased the handheld model and it came with everything but the cord to connect to the PA and a battery.
Quality
Lightweight, but sturdy.
Value
Without a doubt, it is in the top of its class for its price range.
Manufacturer Support
No experience with the company directly. Have not had a problem.
