ES935ML6
MicroLine® Condenser Gooseneck Microphone
engineered sound® microphones
mounting ange. The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing with a
low-reectance black nish.
Installation and Operation
The ES935ML6 requires 11V to 52V phantom power for 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.
The microphone can be mounted on a podium or desktop with the
included AT8474 low-prole isolation mount. Designed to be mounted
either above or beneath the mounting surface, the AT8474 rmly secures
the microphone while providing maximum attenuation of noise, shock
and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface. An AT8473 stand
clamp is also included to permit attaching the microphone to a standard
5
/8"- 27 or 3/8"-16 threaded mic stand or mounting ange.

5/8"-27 stands using included thread-mount adapter
• MicroLine® polar pattern provides narrow 90º acceptance angle
• Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback
• UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection
of radio frequency interference (RFI)
• Easy-to-adjust, rugged, small-diameter gooseneck with virtually
no “memory” permits quick positioning into desired shape
• UniSteep® lter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation to
improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality
• Available interchangeable elements permit angle of acceptance
from 90º to 360º
• Included low-prole isolation mount attenuates noise, shock
and vibration
Description
The ES935ML6 is a wide-range miniature condenser microphone with
a MicroLine® (line cardioid) polar pattern. It is designed for quality sound
reinforcement, professional recording, television and other demanding
sound pickup applications.
The small-diameter gooseneck design permits highly exible positioning
while maintaining a smooth, well-contoured appearance. The ES935ML6
stands 316.3 mm (12.45") from the table or podium.
The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation.
The microphone is equipped with UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology,
which offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI).
The provided two-stage foam windscreen simply slips over the element,
effectively reducing wind noise and popping.
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 microphone’s sensitivity to popping in close vocal use. It
also 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, use the end tip of a paperclip
or other small pointed instrument to slide the switch toward the “bent” line.
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 MicroLine® (line cardioid) polar pattern provides a
90° angle of acceptance. Additional interchangeable elements with
omnidirectional (360°), cardioid (120°) and hypercardioid (100°) pickup
patterns are available.
An XLRM-type connector insert at the base allows the microphone to be
plugged directly into an XLRF-type panel jack or microphone cable.
A recessed switch permits choice of at response or low-frequency rolloff (via integral 80 Hz high-pass UniSteep® lter) to help control undesired
ambient noise.
The microphone comes equipped with a two-stage foam windscreen,
a low-prole isolation mount, and a stand clamp to permit attaching
the microphone to a standard 5/8"- 27 or 3/8"-16 threaded mic stand or
1. The AT8474 mount can be mounted either above or below the
table surface.
2. Locate the center of the mounting location and mark it. Allow enough
clearance to accommodate the AT8474 mount on the desired
surface and make certain there are no physical obstructions
below the desired location.
3. Locate the three mounting screw holes and mark them.
4. Using a 1" hole saw, drill the through-hole for the microphone body.
(Note: Although a 1" drill bit will work, a hole saw provides for a cleaner
hole and is less likely to damage the table surface.)
5. Using a 1.5 mm (1/16") drill bit, drill three pilot holes for the mounting
screws. (If mounting below the table surface, be certain NOT to drill
pilot holes through the table.)

6. Place the AT8474 mount over the hole and partially tighten the
three screws. Then place the microphone in the AT8474 so that the
microphone’s power module (base) extends through the AT8474 mount
into the hole. Tighten all three screws evenly. For maximum security,
the screws should be tight enough to ensure that the microphone is
held securely in place and cannot be removed without loosening
the screws.
7. If mounting the AT8474 mount below the surface of the table, slide
the rubber trim ring over the microphone (above the table surface) and
seat it between the microphone and the sides of the hole for a
nished appearance. (If mounting the AT8474 above the surface of the
table, you may also choose to use the trim ring beneath the surface of
the table, for added attenuation of noise, shock and vibration.)
8. After installing the microphone, assure maximum shock mount
effectiveness by providing some slack in the connecting cable. The
cable can be secured to the table with a standard wire clip or cable tie
(not included).
