USB boundary microphone for meetings

The Audio-Technica ATR4697-USB is an omnidirectional condenser boundary microphone designed for meetings and teleconferencing. Its low-profile form sits on a desk or table and captures sound from every direction with 360° coverage. The USB connection makes it simple to use with computers, tablets and smartphones.

Check USB port and device compatibility

Before ordering, confirm that your device has a free USB-A or USB-C port for the included adapter and cable. The microphone draws power over USB, so no external supply is needed. Ensure your operating system recognises standard USB audio class devices for plug-and-play operation.

Fits on any flat surface and frees desk space

Place the boundary microphone directly on a tabletop to pick up voices around the room without a stand or boom arm. The 1.5 m cable with USB-C connector and supplied USB-C to USB-A adapter reaches nearby ports cleanly. Rugged construction withstands daily handling in conference rooms or home offices.

Questions about this item

Does the ATR4697-USB include both USB-C and USB-A connectors, or do I need an extra adapter?

The microphone comes with a 1.5 m cable ending in USB-C and a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box, so no separate purchase is needed.

Should I choose the ATR4697-USB for a single speaker or for a round-table meeting?

Its omnidirectional pattern gives 360° coverage, making it suited for group discussions around a table rather than a single presenter.

What does the 46 dB sensitivity mean when the mic is on a conference table?

At 46 dB sensitivity and 200 ohm impedance, the boundary design picks up voices evenly across the surface without needing gain boosts.
