ATM610

VOCAL MICROPHONE

 

HYPERCARDIOID DYNAMIC

•Tailored for extended-range, high-fidelity vocal reproduction

•Hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source

•Durable performance for professional applications

•Special dual-wall floating construction reduces handling noise and assures consistent performance from mic to mic

•Hi-ENERGY®neodymium magnet for articulate vocal reproduction

•Multi-stage grille design offers excellent protection against plosives and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity

•Quiet-Flex™stand clamp provides silent, flexible microphone positioning

•Corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type connector

•Rugged, all-metal design and construction for years of trouble-free use

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.

To avoid phase cancellation and poor sound, all mic cables must be wired consistently: Pin 1-to-Pin 1, etc. For a high-impedance (Hi-Z) mic input, connect a Lo-Z balanced cable to a Hi-Z matching transformer (A-T CP8201 or equal) at the equipment input.

When using the ATM610 in settings with a stage monitor speaker, the speaker should be located 135° off axis (45° off the rear of the microphone). This placement, in conjunction with the microphone's uniform hypercardioid pickup pattern, will virtually eliminate the possibility of undesired audio feedback.

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.

ATM610 specifications

The Audio-Technica ATM610 is a dynamic handheld vocal microphone designed for live performances, studio recordings, and various other applications. Renowned for its durability and versatility, the ATM610 is an ideal choice for vocalists, musicians, and speakers who demand professional-quality audio.

One of the standout features of the ATM610 is its cardioid polar pattern. This design minimizes background noise and feedback by capturing sound primarily from the front of the microphone while rejecting ambient sounds from the sides and rear. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in live settings, where stage noise can interfere with vocal clarity.

The microphone utilizes a high-output dynamic element that delivers a warm and natural sound reproduction. The ATM610 is engineered with a frequency response range of 50 Hz to 15 kHz, ensuring that it captures the full range of human vocals, from deep lows to crisp highs. This extensive frequency range contributes to its excellent sound quality, making it suitable for various vocal types and styles.

Durability is another hallmark of the Audio-Technica ATM610. It boasts a rugged all-metal construction that can withstand the rigors of regular use in different environments, from intimate gigs to large concert venues. The speaker grille is designed to resist dents and protect the internal components, ensuring long-lasting performance.

The microphone also features a built-in pop filter that helps reduce plosive sounds, making it ideal for close-miking applications. This feature is particularly useful for vocalists who may create abrupt bursts of air when pronouncing certain consonants, which can lead to undesirable audio artifacts.

Ease of use is another advantage of the ATM610. It is compatible with standard microphone stands and supports XLR connectivity, allowing for seamless integration with various audio systems and equipment. Whether used with a PA system, mixer, or recording interface, the ATM610 delivers reliable performance and sound quality.

In summary, the Audio-Technica ATM610 is a remarkably versatile and rugged dynamic microphone, perfect for vocalists and presenters seeking reliability and excellent sound reproduction. With its cardioid polar pattern, wide frequency response, and durable design, the ATM610 stands out as a top choice in its category, providing professional-grade audio performance in any setting.
