Architects' and Engineers' Specification
The microphone will be a condenser type designed to be suspended,
mounted on a boom (Astatic MB-1) or podium gooseneck
(Astatic MB-18). The microphone will have a continuously
variable polar pattern controllable from the remote-control box
connected by a two conductor shielded cable. The sensitivity of
the microphone will be –29dBV (35mv) @ 1Pa. The frequency
response will be 40Hz - 20KHz. The impedance of the micro-
phone will be 135 ohms. The self noise will be 22dBA. The
maximum SPL will be 110dB. The microphone will include a
selectable 80Hz, 12dB/octave high-pass filter controllable on
the remote control box for increased intelligibility.
The microphone will have a TB3M-type connector on the rear
of the microphone element enclosure. The control box will have
3-pin XLRF-type input and 3-pin XLRM-type signal output. The
microphone will operate on P12, P24 or P48 standard phantom
power consuming 4mA. The microphone element and electronics
will be enclosed in radio frequency resistant housings meeting
or exceeding EN55103-2.
The microphone element enclosure will be matte black and
measure 1-11/16" [43mm] long, 3/4" [20mm] in diameter. The net
weight [mass] will be 1.1oz [0.03Kg] not including the cable. The

Microphone Head
microphone remote polar pattern control enclosure will be 4 -9/16"
[116mm] long, 2-7/8" [72mm] wide and 1- 5/8" [40mm] high. The
net weight [mass] will be 12oz [0.34Kg] not including the cable.
The packaged weight [mass] will be 1lb 14oz [0.85Kg]. The
Astatic model 1600VP is specified.
The 1700VP is specified with the above equipment with the
addition of the MB-1. The MB-1 is a low gloss, 56" [142cm]
carbon-fiber pole designed to attach to a 5/8" x 27 threaded
microphone stand. The pole is terminated with a 3 " [73mm]
flex-gooesneck with a diameter of 1/4" [7mm] and TA3F-type
connector. The opposite end has a TB3M-type connector. Length
and angle is easily adjusted with a tension screw where the
pole meets the microphone stand. Packaged is 2lbs [0.9 kg]
and is 57" [1.5m] long.
The 1800VP is specified with everything in the 1600VP with
the addition of the MB-18. The MB-18 is a matte black, 16 - 3/4"
[42.3cm] dual-flex gooseneck. Total length of 18" [45.7cm] is
reached when the microphone head is connected. The goose-
neck is terminated with a TA3F-type connector and XLRM-type
connector.
Final Connections
Top View
MB-18
MB-1
The connection cable between the microphone element enclosure
and the control box is to be two conductors, with a braided shield-
cable. (Existing microphone wiring, such as mic cable or an analog
audio snake can be used).
1. Connect the microphone head to the TA3F-type connector
of the cable provided.
2. The female plug on the control box will accept the 3-pin
XLRM-type cable from the microphone element enclosure.
3. Connect the 3-pin XLRM-type to an audio mixer or recording
providing phantom power (P12, P24, P48).
4. When all connections are made and phantom power is applied
the blue LED on the control box will illuminate to indicate
proper connection to the mic head.
5. Adjust the polar pattern as desired.
6. Use the white spaces to label the control box.
