Audio-Technica has introduced the new ATM610a/S hypercardioid dynamic handheld microphone.
A variation on A-T’s successful ATM610a, the ATM610a/S features a lockable MagnaLock on/off switch design providing silent on/off operation, adding versatility for a variety of applications.
The new ATM610a/S has a hypercardioid polar pattern that reduces the pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of the desired sound source. It’s a solution for vocal applications when the user needs the ability to control his or her own mic, such as when an engineer is not present, or as a high quality talk-back mic.
The ATM610a/S has a rugged, all-metal design and construction for years of trouble-free use; a superior internal shock mounting, which reduces handling and stage noise; rare earth magnet for articulate vocal reproduction; a multi-stage grille design, offering excellent protection against plosives and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity; Quiet-Flex stand clamp for silent, flexible microphone positioning; and corrosion-resistant contacts from the gold-plated XLRM-type connector.
