Audio Technica PRO 63 Specifications

PRO 63
CARDIOID DYNAMIC MICROPHONE
• Ideal for musical instrument pickup and general use
• Hi-ENERGY ® neodymium magnet for improved output and
transient response
• Two-stage screen reduces wind noise and "popping" during close
use
• Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type
connectors
• Tailored response provides natural, full-range reproduction
• Rugged design and construction for reliable performance
• Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides
and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
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.
When using the PRO 63 in settings with a stage monitor speaker,
the speaker should be located 180° off axis (at the 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.
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.
