Audio-Technica ATM710 Cardioid Condenser Handheld Microphone

The ATM710 is a handheld condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. It is designed specifically for close-up vocal use in professional live-sound and studio applications. The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation. The cardioid polar pattern of the microphone is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful for controlling feedback, reducing pickup of unwanted sounds and providing isolation between performers. The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector. The microphone is equipped with a switchable 10 dB pad and a switch that permits choice of flat response or low-frequency roll-off (via integral 80 Hz high-pass filter).

The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. Its multi-stage grille design offers excellent protection against plosives and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity. The included AT8470 Quiet-Flex™ stand clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand with 5/8"-27 threads. A soft protective pouch is also included.
