General:
netic Microphones are pressure operated magnetic units using the
Balanced-armature Controlled Magnetic principle. The microphones
have high impedance, high output, smooth response and a
directional pickup characteristic. The stability of these microphones
is assured by unique control of the reluctance of the magnetic sys-
tem. High impedance is obtained without the use of a transformer.

designed to be used with a flexible gooseneck mounting or customized installation where a concealed cable is desired. The model
410s has a built in switch to control the microphone circuit. Model
410 has no switch.
Each of the microphones in the "410" and "510" series is provided with a 7-foot
shielded cable.
Applications:
provide the ruggedness, the clear reproduction, and the high output needed in many applications. These microphones may be used
in fixed and mobile public address systems (including carnivals, circuses, parking lots, paging systems, etc.), communications, dictating
machines, portable recording machines, home recording, language
lab systems and high
phones are unusually rugged and are practically immune to severe
moisture and temperature conditions-which makes them especially
ideal for use in tropical and coastal areas.
Also, the Models "410" and "510" series microphones may be
used in applications requiring a soft speaker or receiver.

Connections:

of 100,000 ohms or more.
The inner or "hot" conductor of the cable should be connected
to the
grid of the first tube in the amplifier across a load resistance
of 100,000 ohms or more. The shield should be connected to the
chassis or amplifier ground. The shield, chassis or amplifier ground
should be securely grounded to a water pipe or similar ground to
prevent shock hazard during operation of the amplifying system.

Operation:
trolled Magnetic Microphones have a built-in switch to control the
microphone circuit. The switch is a press-to-talk locking or nonlocking switch, having long-life phosphor-bronze blades with fine
silver contacts. For momentary contact, depress switch button and
release. For locking, depress switch button and slide button upward.
In some applications the locking feature is not desired and
may be eliminated in the following manner: Remove the two 4-40
