CARDIOID CONDENSER VOCAL MICROPHONE

• Tailored for exacting detail, high-fidelity vocal reproduction with maximum impact and intelligibility

• Excels in venues with controlled stage volume or in-ear monitoring

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

• Durable performance for professional applications

• Superior anti-shock engineering for low handling noise

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

• Condenser design for studio-quality performance

• Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad

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

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

The ATM710 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

Pin 1 is ground (shield). Output phase is “Pin 2 hot” – positive

3; 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.

When using the ATM710 in settings with a stage monitor speaker, the speak

er should be located 180° off axis (at rear of the microphone). This placement, in conjunction with the microphone's uniform cardioid pickup pattern, will virtually eliminate the possibility

of undesired audio f

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 coupled vibr

TM710 is also equipped with a s

, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically

witchable 10 dB pad that lowers the microphone's sensitivity, thus providing higher SPL capability for flexible use with a wide range of performers and system configurations.

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 a

oided.
