Audio-Technica AT8657 LED Microphone Socket

The Audio-Technica AT8657/LED is a microphone socket designed to fit seamlessly into conference rooms and boardrooms where professional audio setup is essential. It provides a flush tabletop mount that accommodates 21 mm gooseneck or button-style boundary microphones with a 3-pin XLRM-type output, making it easy to integrate high-quality microphones into your meeting space without clutter or awkward positioning.

This socket includes a programmable capacitance switch that lets users control remote devices with a simple touch, adding convenience and flexibility to your audio setup. The locking mechanism keeps microphones firmly in place, preventing accidental disconnections during important discussions or presentations. An integral Red/Green LED ring, powered by phantom power, clearly indicates the microphone’s status without requiring an extra power source, helping users and technicians quickly identify whether the mic is active or muted.

To reduce unwanted noise from surface vibrations, the AT8657/LED comes with rubber isolation rings and a metal retainer ring, ensuring cleaner audio capture. Its compact dimensions and lightweight design make it a practical choice for permanent installations where reliability and discreet appearance matter. This socket is ideal for corporate environments, educational institutions, or any setting where clear, professional audio communication is a priority.
