AT4071a
LINE + GRADIENT CONDENSER MICROPHONE
• Designed for critical long-distance pickup in broadcasting, film/TV
production, and theater sound reinforcement applications
• Direct-coupled, balanced output ensures a clean signal even in
high-output conditions
• Exclusive acoustic design provides same directivity as mics up to
50% longer (U.S. Patent No. 4,789,044)
• Rugged housing made of lightweight structural-grade aluminum
alloy
• Switchable low-frequency roll-off
The AT4071a 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.
An integral 150 Hz high-pass filter provides easy switching from a flat
frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position
reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such
as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and
mechanically coupled vibrations.
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.
