HT2
OVERVIEW
The HT2 is a professional pre-polarized headworn condenser microphone for stage,
presentation and broadcast applications. The HT2 is known for its excellent sonic
characteristics, low profile, comfort and sound isolation from other instruments
on stage.
The HT2 is primarily designed for use with Audix wireless systems. The HT2 may also
be used as a wired microphone. Simply order the APS911 phantom power adapter for
Characterized with a uniformly controlled supercardioid polar pattern, the HT2 is
designed to capture vocals from a comfortable distance of 2”-3” off of the corner of
the mouth. With a tailored frequency range of 50 Hz - 15 kHz, the HT2 will handle very
high sound pressure levels of ≥140 dB without distortion.
The HT2 is easy to position, lightweight and manufactured with high standards and
tight tolerances. Roadworthy construction includes a rubber coated metal frame, a
high performance 5 mm capsule, black finish and a 3’ high quality cable terminating
in a space saving mini 3-pin XLRf connector.

ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER SPECIFICATIONS
The microphone shall be a back plate pre-polarized condenser with a supercardioid polar pattern. The microphone shall operate on 5-52 Volts biased from a wireless bodypack or phantom power and the nominal output impedance shall be equal to 250 ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a sensitivity of 4 mV / Pa at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a maximum SPL level of ≥140 dB with a THD of 0.5%. The headset shall be made of rubber coated metal alloy with steel coiled gooseneck supporting the microphone element.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The HT2 is a low impedance microphone designed for use with the Audix wireless bodypack. The HT2 may be used with other brands of wireless bodypacks, however, the connector and wiring will most likely have to be modified in order to match the specs of the system being used.
Using the HT2 as a wired mic: The HT2 can be used as a wired microphone with the addition of the APS911 phantom power adapter. The HT2 will not operate without phantom power voltage (minimum of 5 volts) which is available on most professional mic preamps and mixing devices. If phantom power is not available on your equipment, you may use the APS911 in the “battery powered” mode. Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone from a PA system unless the channel is muted or the volume of the system is turned down. Failure to do so may result in a loud “popping” noise which could seriously damage the speakers in the PA system.
HT2
The HT2 is manufactured to exacting specs with roadworthy construction. However, the capsule is highly sensitive and should be handled with care. Avoid extreme temperatures and be sure to store your microphone in the pouch provided when not in use. Moisture of any kind can adversely affect the sound and performance of your microphone.

USER TIPS
The HT2 is designed so that the headband is worn around the back of the head with the curved ear pieces resting around both ears. The dual ear system keeps the headset stable once it is in the desired position. The microphone is at the very end of the flexible boom and should be positioned on the user’s left side of the cheek just off the corner of the mouth. The headset may be adjusted to fit by either loosening or

tightening the rubber strap that is attached in the middle of the headband.
For optimum sound and performance, DO NOT place the microphone directly in front of the mouth as the pickup pattern of the mic is intended to pick up sound from off-axis.
