Astatic 119L-19, 119L, 119LB User Manual

Commercial Audio Products

Description

The ASTATIC 119L Series are dynamic cardioid microphones, designed
especially for gooseneck mounting in quality sound reinforcement and
communication installations. These microphones have a slightly rising high
frequency response and a gentle low frequency roll-off, assuring excellent
voice reproduction.

A superior cardioid directional pattern minimizes feedback, background
noise, reverberation, offaxis coloration and placement problems. A new
internal vibration isolation system, consisting of a special rubber mounting
ring and a rubber stabilizing ring as a support for the generating element,
reduces gooseneck, stand and handling noise. An effective multi-stage
blast filter controls breath "pop" and wind disturbances. Available as a 119L
(chrome), 119LB (black) and 119L-19 (as shown).

The 119L Series has low impedance outputs. The 119L-19 is supplied
with 1.7m (5.5ft), the 119L and 119LB with 2.1m (7ft) of rugged two
conductor shielded cable. The 119 Series microphones are extremely
rugged and reliable and will stand up under the most strenuous handling
conditions to provide years of dependable service.
