Description
The ES931PMH is a wide-range miniature condenser microphone with a
hypercardioid polar pattern. It is designed for quality sound reinforcement.
The small-diameter gooseneck design permits highly exible positioning
while maintaining a smooth, well-contoured appearance. The combination
of small size and excellent response makes the microphone ideal for
boardrooms, school and government settings, teleconferencing, houses of
worship and other installed applications.
The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation.
The microphone is equipped with UniGuard
which offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI).
The microphone’s hypercardioid polar pattern provides a 100° angle of
acceptance. Additional interchangeable elements with omnidirectional
(360°), cardioid (120°) and MicroLine

The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing with a low-reectance
black nish and comes equipped with a wall/ceiling plate power module
and a two-stage foam windscreen. The microphone is also available with
white housing and windscreen as the ES931PMWH.
Installation and Operation
The ES931PMH requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation.
A uniform 100° angle of acceptance provides well-balanced audio pickup.
The microphone should be located forward of the front-most source,
above the rear-most source, and “aimed” between them. Increasing the
height of the mic above the sources will tend to equalize sound levels
between them, but may also increase background/reverberant sound
pickup. When possible, the distance from the mic to the rear-most
source should be no more than twice the distance to the front source, to
maintain front-to-rear balance.
Width of pickup is approximately 2.5 times the distance to the closest
source. If additional mics are needed for wide sources, they should
be positioned apart laterally at least 2.5 times the distance to the front
source, to avoid phase cancellation (Fig. 1).
The provided two-stage foam windscreen simply snaps over the head
of the microphone, effectively reducing noise from wind or ventilation
air currents.
An integral 80 Hz high-pass UniSteep
®
lter provides easy switching from
a at frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces
the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as trafc, air-handling
systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically coupled vibrations.
To engage the UniSteep
®
lter, slide the switch toward the “bent” line. A
10 dB gain switch is provided for situations that demand extra sensitive
pickup. The +10 position increases the microphone’s overall output by 10
dB. To engage the 10 dB gain, slide the switch toward the +10 position.
The AT8534 wall/ceiling plate power module is designed to be mounted
in a standard metal U.S. single-gang electrical box. For safety and best
performance, use the electrical box only for the AT8534; do not include
any AC power conductors. (Also route the mic cable as far away from AC
power cables as possible.)
Screw-terminal output connections of the AT8534 are the same as those of
an XLR-type plug: shield to Terminal 1, balanced signal and phantom power
to Terminals 2 and 3 (Fig. 2). Output is phased so that positive acoustic
pressure produces positive voltage at Terminal 2, in accordance with
industry convention. Do not connect the output cable shield to the box.
Double-check to make certain that all input and output leads have no bare
wires or loose strands that could touch each other, the circuit board or the
electrical box. Then attach the power module plate to the electrical box.
Connect the TA3F-type connector on the microphone to the TB3M-type
connector in the power module plate.
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 avoided.
The microphone’s free end connects to the provided AT8534 wall/ceiling
plate power module via a special TA3F-type connector designed to optimize
RFI immunity. The power module features a white-nished standard
electrical cover plate for easy, secure installation. Output connections on
the power module are screw terminals.
Switches in the power module permit a +10 dB gain setting for extra
sensitive pickup as well as a choice of at response or low-frequency rolloff (via integral 80 Hz high-pass UniSteep
®
lter) to help control undesired
ambient noise.

Note: Audio-Technica has developed a special RFI-shielding mechanism,
which is an integral part of the connectors in the Engineered Sound® line.
If you remove or replace the connector, you may adversely affect the
unit’s RFI immunity.
