- Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type connector
- Isolation clamp provides secure mounting, versatile positioning and effective dampening of unwanted mechanical noise
The ATM250 is a dynamic microphone with a hypercardioid polar pattern. It is designed specifically for musical instrument pickup in the studio and on stage. The hypercardioid polar pattern of the microphone is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful for controlling feedback and reducing pickup of unwanted sounds. The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector. The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. The included AT8471 isolation clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand with 5/8"-27 threads. A soft protective pouch is also included.
Operation and Maintenance
Output 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"- positiveacoustic 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. 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.
