DocumentDocumentUser Manual Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone AE5100 Thank you for purchasing this product. Before using the product, read through the user manual to ensure that you will use the product correctly. Please keep this manual for future reference. Features · Uncompromising sound quality for overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, strings and other acoustic instruments · Large-diaphragm capsule delivers accurate and natural response · Low-profile design permits innovative placement options previously unattainable with a large-diaphragm condenser · Robust design for enduring dependability on the road · Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad · Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source Notes on use The AE5100 is intended for use in professional applications where remote power is available. It requires 11V to 52V DC phantom power, which may be provided by a mixer or console, or by a separate, in-line source such as the Audio-Technica AT8801 single channel or CP8506 four-channel phantom power supplies. 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. An integral 80 Hz hi-pass filter provides easy switching from a flat frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces the microphone's sensitivity to popping in close vocal use. It also reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically-coupled vibrations. The AE5100 includes an AT8471 isolation clamp to provide secure mounting, versatile positioning, and effective dampening of unwanted mechanical noise. 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.
