Audio Technica UniMix AT8681 User manual

UniTools®are phantom-powered in-line
microphone accessories that can be used
to combine a channel or add a switch.
Compact, economical and easy to use, they
provide outstanding, reliable performance.
Available in two function-specific models,
UniTools are intended primarily for use
with UniPoint®and similar condenser
microphones. Both have professional XLR-
type input/output connectors, and require
balanced cables and 24-48V DC phantom
power for operation. (“In” and “Out”
markings refer to the mic audio .) Both units
permit phantom voltage to pass on to the
microphone. Featuring rugged steel
housings, UniTools can be installed
anywhere in-line, either at the mixer input
or near the mic.
