ATM710
CARDIOID CONDENSER
VOCAL MICROPHONE
• Tailored for exacting detail, high-fidelity vocal reproduction with
maximum impact and intelligibility
• Excels in venues with controlled stage volume or in-ear monitoring
• Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides
and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
• Durable performance for professional applications
• Superior anti-shock engineering for low handling noise
• Multi-stage grille design offers excellent protection against plosives
and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity
• Condenser design for studio-quality performance
• Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad
• Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type
connector
• Rugged, all-metal design and construction for years of trouble-free
use
The ATM710 is intended for use in professional applications where
remote power is available. It requires 11V to 52V DC phantom
power, which may be provided by a mixer or console, or by a
separate, in-line source such as the Audio-Technica AT8801 single-
channel or CP8506 four-channel phantom power supplies.
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.
When using the ATM710 in settings with a stage monitor speaker,
the speaker should be located 180° off axis (at 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.
An integral 80 Hz hi-pass filter provides easy switching from a flat
frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces
the microphone's sensitivity to popping in close vocal use. It also
reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as traffic,
air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically
coupled vibrations.
The ATM710 is also equipped with a switchable 10 dB pad that
lowers the microphone's sensitivity, thus providing higher SPL
capability for flexible use with a wide range of performers and
system configurations.
Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where
temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for extended periods. Extremely
high humidity should also be avoided.
