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.

Features:

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
