Audio-Technica ATM610a/S Handheld Hypercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with Switch

The ATM610a/S is a dynamic microphone with a hypercardioid polar pattern. It is designed specifically for lead and backup vocal use in professional live-sound applications. The hypercardioid 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 microphone also features a newly designed internal shock mount design to reduce handling and stage noise. The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.

The ATM610a/S is enclosed in a rugged housing, while its multi-stage windscreen effectively controls popping, distortion from sibilant sounds and wind noise. 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.

Features:

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

• Durable performance for professional applications

• Newly designed superior internal shock mounting reduces handling and stage noise

• Rare-earth 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

• MagnaLock on/off switch

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

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