Description
The Audio-Technica AT8202 adjustable in-line attenuator is used to
prevent balanced low-impedance microphones from overloading
electronics having low- to mid-impedance inputs in high-SPL applications.
The adjustable attenuator is designed to assure the proper match of the
microphone to inputs of mixing consoles and portable recording devices
without experiencing input overload of the electronics due to high-level
signals. The AT8202 is compatible for use in phantom power applications.
Encased in steel for maximum durability and optimum shielding from
hum, the AT8202 includes a professional XLRF-type input connector and
XLRM-type output connector.
Architect’s and Engineer’s Specications
The in-line audio attenuator shall provide three levels of selectable
attenuation (-10, -20, -30 dB) and shall be compatible with phantom
power applications. The attenuator shall incorporate a side-mounted
rugged switch for selecting the attenuation level. Input and output
connections shall be standard XLR-type female to male locking type.
The attenuator shall have a frequency response of 20-20,000 Hz. It shall
match to 1,000 ohms on the input side and 200 ohms on the output side.
It shall be constructed of steel and be capable of plugging directly into an
XLRF-type chassis-mount connector.
The Audio-Technica AT8202 is specied.
