DESCRIPTION
TheseAudio-Technicaanti-shockmicrophonestandseffectively
isolate mounted microphones from impact vibration and
mechanical noise normally transmitted from the surface.
They are intended for use with microphones stood on lecterns,
pulpits, conference tables and similar surfaces. Ideal for use
withgooseneckmicrophonesandotherquick-mounttype
microphones using industrial standard XLRM 3-pin type
connectors.
AT8688S OFF SWITCH
The AT8688S features a newly design press-on/press-off switch
circuit that controls the microphone, the mute attenuation level up to
64dB. The circuitry also operates a light in the switch, powered by
the 24-52V phantom source, to indicate when the mic is “on”.
