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.
 Safety precaution
Although this product was designed to be used safely, failing to use it correctly may result in an accident. To ensure safety, observe all warnings and cautions while using the product.
Cautions for the product
· Do not subject the product to strong impact to avoid malfunction. · Do not disassemble, modify or attempt to repair the product. · Do not handle the product with wet hands to avoid electric shock or injury. · Do not store the product under direct sunlight, near heating devices or in a hot, humid or
dusty place.
 Connection procedure
Connect the output terminals of the microphone to a device that has a microphone input (balanced input) compatible with a phantom power supply. The output connector is an XLRM-type with polarity as shown in the figure below.
