Audio Technica AT2010 Specifications

AT2010
CARDIOID CONDENSER
VOCAL MICROPHONE
• Studio-quality sound on stage for crystal-clear vocal performance
• Excels wherever articulate vocals are needed: in houses of
worship, for solo performances, jazz vocalists, singer/songwriters,
and more
• Features the same 16 mm low-mass diaphragm found in the
critically acclaimed AT2020 side-address studio condenser
• Extended frequency response and superior transient response for
smooth, natural sonic characteristics
• High SPL-handling and wide dynamic range provide unmatched
versatility
• Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides
and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
• Multi-stage grille design offers excellent protection against plosives
and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity
• Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type
connector
• Rugged, all-metal design and construction for years of trouble-free
use
• Quiet-Flex ™ stand clamp provides silent, flexible microphone
positioning
The AT2010 is intended for use in professional applications where
remote power is available. It requires 48V 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 AT2010 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.
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.
