Overview:
This cardioid dynamic workhorse is designed for smooth,
natural vocal reproduction and low noise. Equipped with a neodymium magnet for
high output, and a multi-stage grille design for excellent protection against
plosives, this super-durable microphone is built to stand up to life on the
road. Its cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and
rear, maximizing isolation from other sound sources and minimizing feedback.
- The ATM410 is a dynamic microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. It is designed specifically for close-up vocal use in professional live-sound applications
Features:
- 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
What's in the Box?
- ATM 410 dynamic microphone
- AT8470 Quiet-Flex™ stand clamp for 5/8"-27 threaded stands
- 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 threaded adapter
- soft protective pouch
The cardioid polar pattern of the microphone is more
sensitive to sound originating directly
in front of the element, making it useful for controlling feedback, reducing pickup of unwanted sounds
and providing isolation between
performers
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. For a high-impedance (Hi-Z)
mic input, connect a Lo-Z balanced cable to a Hi-Z matching transformer at the equipment
input.
- When using the microphone 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
