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.
ATM75 wired version includes a power module AT8531 that requires 11V to 52V DC
phantom power, or a 1.5V AA battery for operation. A battery need not be in place for
phantom power operation. The output of the power module is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.
An integral 80Hz high-pass filter provides easy switching from a flat frequency response to a
low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise
(such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically coupled
vibrations.
ATM75cW and ATM75cH wireless versions do not contain power module and includes
clothing clip and metal-frame pop filter only. 1.4 m cable terminated with locking 4-pin
connector. The connector is also compatible with Audio-Technica cW and cH type
body-pack transmitters.
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.
Connect the output terminals of AT8531 power module 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.
For product improvement, the product is sublect to modification without notice.
• Ideal for drummers, keyboard players, guitarists or anyone requiring hands-free operation
• Low-visibilty headband provides stable, comfortable fit
• Pivot-mounted flexible mic boom descends from left or right side
• Belt-mounted power module operates on battery or phantom power
• Cardioid polar pattern improving isolation of desired sound source
• Rugged design and construction for reliable performance
• ATM75 wired version's power module (AT8531) includes a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter
minimizes pickup of undesired low-frequency sounds
• Wireless version equipped with cW-style locking or cH-style screw-down 4-pin termination
for Audio-Technica wireless systems
