CARDIOID DYNAMIC VOCAL MICROPHONE

• Tailored for smooth, natural vocal reproduction

• Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source

• Durable performance for professional applications

• Hi-ENERGY

neodymium magnet for improved output and

transient response

• Excellent off-axis rejection for minimum feedback

• Superior anti-shock engineering for low handling noise

• Multi-stage grille design offers excellent protection against plosives and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity

™

• Quiet-Flex

stand clamp provides silent, flexible microphone

positioning

• Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type connector

• Rugged, all-metal design and construction for years of trouble-free use

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. For a high-impedance (Hi-Z) mic input, connect a Lo-Z balanced cable to a Hi-Z matching transformer (A-T CP8201 or equal) at the equipment input.

When using the ATM410 in settings with a stage monitor speaker, the speaker should be located 180° off axis (at the 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.

Take care to keep foreign particles from entering the windscreen. An accumulation of iron or steel filings on the diaphragm, and/or foreign material in the windscreen's mesh surface, can degrade performance.
