Cardioid Condenser Microphone

How to use the isolation clamp

1. Before placing the microphone into the included isolation clamp, make certain that the locking mechanism on the top of the isolation clamp is in the unlocked position.

2. Open the clamp.

3. Insert the microphone directly into the isolation clamp's front opening with the Audio-Technica logo on the microphone facing outward and the microphone body vertically centered in the clamp. Firmly press the microphone inward until you hear a click and the microphone feels snug in the isolation clamp.

4. Secure the microphone by turning the lever on the top of the isolation clamp to the locked position.

* To remove, first turn the lever on the top of the isolation

clamp to the unlocked position. Next, pull the microphone directly outward. A slight twisting motion can aid in removing the microphone from the isolation clamp. Be careful that the microphone does not drop down and expose the grille to the clamp.

Notes on use

• An Audio-Technica logo is on the front of the microphone. Position this side of the microphone toward the sound source.

• In use, secure the cable to the microphone stand or boom, leaving a slack loop at the microphone. This will ensure the most effective shock isolation and reduce the possibility of accidentally pulling the microphone out of its clamp.

Connection procedure

Connect the output terminals of the microphone to a device that has a microphone input (balanced input) compatible with a phantom power supply. The output connector is an XLRM-type with polarity as shown in the figure below.
