Audio Technica AT808G Specifications

AT808G
SUBCARDIOID DYNAMIC CONSOLE MICROPHONE
• Designed for use as a quality talk-back microphone in
entertainment, commercial and industrial applications
• Versatile gooseneck design and dependable performance
• Custom-tailored frequency response ensures excellent
intelligibility in environments with excessive ambient noise
• Subcardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the
sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
• Protective screen reduces wind noise and "popping" when used
extremely close
• Plugs directly into an XLRF-type surface or cable connector
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. For a high-impedance (Hi-Z)
mic input, connect a Lo-Z balanced cable to a Hi-Z matching
transformer (A-T CP8201 or equal) at the equipment input.

The flexible gooseneck is easy to manipulate for proper positioning.
Heavily lubricated, it operates smoothly and quietly. Should the unit
become noisy with prolonged use, apply a light machine oil directly
on the gooseneck area affected.
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.
