The 2600VP/2700VP/2800VP/2220VP is a continuously-variable

pattern condenser microphone system with remote polar control through

a Digital Signal Platform (DSP). Utilizing a two-conductor shielded cable

(max length 2,000 feet) between the microphone head and the DSP

unit, the polar pattern of the microphone can be adjusted in real time

without changing capsules, microphone positions, or inducing noise into the audio

chain. Special attention has been given to the frequency response and sensitivity of the

microphone system while utilizing the DSP to precisely alter the shape of the pick-up

pattern.

The VP microphone systems are designed to resist interference from devices such

as cell phones, two-way communication devices and lighting apparatus. Utilizing our

RF Resistant Architecture, our VP products meet the stringent RF standards set by

the European Union (see the speci cation section of each microphone for more

information).

Choose the 2600VP when a suspended system is desired. System includes a counter

poise string, exclusive articulating steel hanger, anti-twist thread and rods, 30' of cable,

and 24" XLR-F to Phoenix- type cable (40 - 360).

Choose the 2700VP when a  oor stand version is needed. System includes the

MB-1; a feather light 56" boom and exclusive Clutch Rotation System, this boom can

be mounted on any standard microphone tripod or base stand. Also, includes 24"

XLR-F to Phoenix-type cable (40 -360).

Choose the 2800VP when a podium version is required. System includes the

MB-18; an 18" miniature dual- ex gooseneck with TA3F-type and XLRM-type

connectors. The system also includes 24" XLR-F to Phoenix-type cable (40 - 360).

Choose the 2220VP/2220VPW when an installed boundary style microphone is

needed. System includes 220VP boundary microphone with mounting hardware and

rubber bushings. The system also includes 24" XLR-F to Phoenix-type cable (40-360).

Specify “W” for white unit.

The microphone will be a condenser type designed to be

suspended (2600VP), mounted on a boom (2700VP), mounted

on a podium gooseneck (2800VP) or installed in a boundary

surface (2220VP/2220VPW). The microphone will have a

continuously variable polar pattern controllable from the

digital signal platform connected by a two conductor shielded

cable separating pins 2 and 3 to two discrete channels of the

DSP.

The sensitivity of the microphone (2600VP, 2700VP, 2800VP)

will be –29dBV (35mv) @ 1Pa. The frequency response will be

40Hz - 20KHz. The impedance of the microphone will be 135

ohms. The self noise will be 22dBA. The maximum SPL will be

110dB. The microphone will have a TB3M-type connector on

the rear of the microphone element enclosure. The included

cable will be a XLRF-type connector and two Phoenix- style

connectors with 24" of two- conductor shielded 22AWG cable.

The Astatic model 2600VP is speci ed above.

The 2700VP is speci ed with the above equipment with the

addition of the MB-1. The MB-1 is a low gloss, 56" [142cm]

carbon- ber pole designed to attach to a 5/8" x 27 threaded

microphone stand. The pole is terminated with a 3" [73mm]

 ex- gooseneck with a diameter of 1/4" [7mm] and TA3F-type

connector. The opposite end has a TB3M-type connector.

Length and angle is easily adjusted with a tension screw

where the pole meets the microphone stand. Packaged

weight is 2lbs [0.9 kg] and is 57" [1.5m] long.

The 2800VP is speci ed with everything in the 2600VP and

the addition of the MB-18. The MB-18 is a matte black, 16- 3/4"

[42.3cm] dual- ex gooseneck. Total length of 18" [45.7cm]

is reached when the microphone head is connected. The

gooseneck is terminated with a TA3F-type connector and

XLRM-type connector. Packaged weight is 1lb 14oz [0.85Kg]

and 7.2oz [0.20Kg].

The 2220VP/ 2220VPW is speci ed with a sensitivity of

-32dBV (25mv @ 1Pa). The frequency response will be

90Hz-17KHz. The impedance of the microphone will be 120

ohms. The self noise will be 24dBA. The maximum SPL will

be 120dB. The microphone will include an integral 80Hz,

12dB/octave high-pass  lter to improve intelligibility. The

microphone will have a 3- pin XLRM-type connector allowing

for bottom exit. The microphone will operate from P12, P24

or P48 standard phantom power consuming 4mA. The

microphone will be 3- 3/8" [85mm] long, 1-1/8" [28mm] in

diameter and stands 3/4" [20mm] above boundary. The net

weight [mass] will be 3.9oz [0.11Kg]. The packaged weight

[mass] will be 5.0oz [0.14Kg]. The 2220VP will have a durable

matte- black urethane  nish, or for a matte-white  nish add

“W” to the model number.

Continuously-variable Pattern Condenser Microphone System

with Remote Polar Control through Digital Signal Platform

Page 3 of 4Page 2 of 4

The connection cable between the microphone element and the DSP is to be two-conductor, with a braided shield

cable - AWG22. (Existing wiring such as mic cable or an analog audio snake can be used.)

1. Connect the microphone to the 40 - 360 cable

2. If the microphone has an onboard VP dial, set it to Figure-of-eight (8) fully clock-wise

3. Connect the 40- 360 cable end with heat shrink to the  rst channel of the DSP

4. Connect the 40- 360 cable without the heat shrink to the second channel of the DSP

5. Upload the corresponding software for the DSP in use - check www.cadaudio.com/vpdsp

6. Apply phantom power to both channels within the DSP

7. Adjust the input gain equally on each channel
