■ Features

• Ideal for drummers, keyboard players, guitarists or anyone requiring hands-free operation
• Low-visibilty headband provides stable, comfortable fit
• Pivot-mounted flexible mic boom descends from left or right side
• Belt-mounted power module operates on battery or phantom power
• Cardioid polar pattern improving isolation of desired sound source
• Rugged design and construction for reliable performance
• ATM75 wired version's power module (AT8531) includes a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter
minimizes pickup of undesired low-frequency sounds
• Wireless version equipped with cW-style locking or cH-style screw-down 4-pin termination
for Audio-Technica wireless systems

■ Notes on use

ATM75 wired version includes a power module AT8531 that requires 11V to 52V DC
phantom power, or a 1.5V AA battery for operation. A battery need not be in place for
phantom power operation. The output of the power module is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.
An integral 80Hz 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.
ATM75cW and ATM75cH wireless versions do not contain power module and includes
clothing clip and metal-frame pop filter only. 1.4 m cable terminated with locking 4-pin
connector. The connector is also compatible with Audio-Technica cW and cH type
body-pack transmitters.
Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where temperatures exceed 43°C
for extended periods. Extremely high humidity should also be avoided.
