AT808G
Features
• Designed for use as a quality talk-back microphone in
entertainment, commercial and industrial applications
• Plugs directly into an XLRF-type surface or cable connector
• Versatile gooseneck design and dependable performance
• Custom-tailored frequency response ensures excellent
intelligibility in environments with excessive ambient noise
• Subcardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the
sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
• Protective screen reduces wind noise and popping
Description
The AT808G is a moving coil dynamic microphone with a subcardioid
polar pattern. It is designed for use as a quality talk-back microphone in
entertainment, commercial and industrial applications.
The versatile gooseneck design allows for exible positioning and
dependable performance. Its custom-tailored frequency response
ensures excellent intelligibility in environments with excessive ambient
noise. The AT808G stands 412.7 mm (16.20") from the table or podium.

Integral 3-pin XLRM-type
An XLRM-type connector insert at the base allows the microphone to be
plugged directly into an XLRF-type panel jack or microphone cable.
The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing with a low-reectance
black nish.
Installation and 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.
Take care to keep foreign particles from entering the windscreen. An
accumulation of iron or steel lings on the diaphragm, and/or foreign
material in the windscreen’s mesh surface, can degrade performance.
Architect’s and Engineer’s Specications
The microphone shall be a moving coil dynamic. It shall have a subcardioid
polar pattern and a frequency response of 200 Hz to 5,000 Hz. Nominal
open-circuit output voltage shall be 1.0 mV at 1V, 1 Pascal. Output shall be
low impedance balanced (800 ohms).
The microphone shall have an XLRM-type connector at the base for
direct connection to a mating XLRF-type panel jack or cable connector.
The microphone shall be an alternating gooseneck design, with an overall
length of 412.7 mm (16.20") and a head diameter of 25.0 mm (0.98").
Weight shall be 135 grams (4.8 oz). Finish shall be low-reectance black.
