20 series studio/live sound microphones

Operation and Maintenance

The AT2010 requires 48V phantom power for operation.

Output is low impedance (Lo-Z) balanced. The signal appears across Pins 2 and 3; Pin 1 is ground (shield). Output phase is “Pin 2 hot”— positive acoustic pressure produces positive voltage at Pin 2.

To avoid phase cancellation and poor sound, all mic cables must be wired consistently: Pin 1-to-Pin 1, etc.

When using the microphone in settings with a stage monitor speaker, the speaker should be located 180° off axis (at rear of the microphone). This placement, in conjunction with the microphone’s uniform cardioid pickup pattern, will virtually eliminate the possibility of undesired audio feedback.

Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for long periods of time. Extremely high humidity should also be avoided.

Description

The AT2010 is a handheld condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. It is designed specically for close-up vocal use in professional live-sound and studio applications.

The microphone requires 48V phantom power for operation.

The cardioid polar pattern of the microphone is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful for controlling feedback, reducing pickup of unwanted sounds and providing isolation between performers.

The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.

The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. Its multi-stage grille design offers excellent protection against plosives and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity. The included AT8470 Quiet-Flex™ stand clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand with 5/8"-27 threads. A soft protective pouch is also included.
