AT895 Microphone

The AT895 Microphone itself is “all analog,” housing one Audio -Technica MicroLine® element, four A-T cardioid elements mounted in a co-planar diamond configuration, and five mic preamps. The five amplified analog signals from the microphone elements are sent individually down a special detachable cable to the AT895CP Control Pack.

AT895CP Control Pack

The AT895CP Control Pack provides all the power, Digital Signal Processing, and control for the AT895. Output from the Control Pack is analog at mic-level (–23 dBV).

The lightweight, sturdy metal housing accepts a quick-change, click-on Battery Housing for totally self-contained operation, if desired. The Control Pack also operates on external 12-14V DC — from an Anton/Bauer or similar-type battery source, or from an AC adapter — via an industry-standard 4-pin XLR-type connection.
