Audio Technica AT3032 Specifications
AT3032
Response in dB
OMNIDIRECTIONAL CONDENSER MICROPHONE
•Outstanding performance and versatility
•High SPL handling and wide dynamic range
•Flat, extended frequency response
•Switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad
•Omnidirectional polar pattern provides maximum ambient pickup
The AT3032 is intended for use in professional applications where
remote power is available.It requires 11V to 52V DC phantom
power, which may be provided by a mixer or console, or by a
separate, in-line source such as the Audio-Technica AT8801 singlechannel or CP8506 four-channel phantom power supplies.
Output from the microphone's XLRM-type connector 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.
An integral 80 Hz hi-pass filter provides easy switching from a flat
frequency response to a low-end roll-off.The roll-off position
reduces the microphone’s sensitivity to popping in close vocal use.
It also reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such
as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and
mechanically-coupled vibrations.
Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where
temperatures exceed 110°F (43°C) for extended periods.
Extremely high humidity should also be avoided.
