• Tailored for smooth, natural vocal reproduction
• Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides
and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
• Durable performance for professional applications
• Hi-ENERGY®neodymium magnet for improved output and
transient response
• Excellent off-axis rejection for minimum feedback
• Superior anti-shock engineering for low handling noise
• Multi-stage grille design offers excellent protection against plosives
and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity
• Quiet-Flex™stand clamp provides silent, flexible microphone
positioning
• Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type
connector
• Rugged, all-metal design and construction for years of trouble-free
use
Output from the microphone's XLRM-type connector 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. For a high-impedance (Hi-Z)
mic input, connect a Lo-Z balanced cable to a Hi-Z matching
transformer (A-T CP8201 or equal) at the equipment input.
When using the ATM410 in settings with a stage monitor speaker,
the speaker should be located 180° off axis (at the rear of the
microphone). This placement, in conjunction with the microphone's
uniform cardioid pickup pattern, will virtually eliminate the possibility
of undesired audio feedback.
Take care to keep foreign particles from entering the windscreen. An
accumulation of iron or steel filings on the diaphragm, and/or foreign
material in the windscreen's mesh surface, can degrade
performance.
