Description
To celebrate Audio-Technica’s 50th Anniversary, A-T has brought back its
classic ATM25, offering it exclusively as a limited edition ATM25/LE
Anniversary Microphone in a silver-colored metallic nish with blue
accents. A unique serial number is etched on the surface of each
limited edition ATM25/LE.
The ATM25/LE is a dynamic microphone with a hypercardioid polar
pattern. It is designed specically for musical instrument pickup in the
studio and on stage.
The hypercardioid polar pattern of the microphone is more sensitive to
sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful for
controlling feedback and reducing pickup of unwanted sounds.
The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.
The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing with an integral stand
clamp for 5/8”-27 threaded stands. A soft protective pouch is included.
Operation and Maintenance
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.
To avoid phase cancellation and poor sound, all mic cables must be wired
consistently: Pin 1-to-Pin 1, etc.
Take care to keep foreign particles from entering the windscreen. An
accumulation of iron or steel lings on the diaphragm, and/or foreign
material in the windscreen’s mesh surface, can degrade performance.
