Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the purpose of the tailored frequency response in the Audio-Technica AT898 Subminiature Cardioid Condenser Lavalier Microphone?

The tailored frequency response, ranging from 200Hz to 15KHz, is designed to enhance vocal clarity while effectively reducing low-frequency noise. This makes it an excellent tool for capturing clear, high-quality audio in various environments.

What is the benefit of the low-frequency roll-off switch in the AT898?

The low-frequency roll-off switch further aids in minimizing noise disruptions caused by hum, ambiance, and proximity effect. This feature ensures that your audio remains crisp and clear, regardless of the surrounding conditions.

What does the cardioid polar pattern in the AT898 microphone do?

The cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing noise and ambiance at the off-axis sections of the microphone capsule. This results in a microphone that delivers consistent, high-quality audio capture.

Why is the AT898 microphone's slim, low-profile design important?

The slim, low-profile design of the AT898 microphone ensures minimal visibility when mounted on clothing, making it a preferred choice for broadcast and theatrical applications where discretion is key.

What does the 200 ohms phantom impedance in the AT898 microphone mean?

The 200 ohms phantom impedance ensures optimal signal transmission, enhancing the overall sound quality and reliability of the microphone for professional audio recording and broadcasting needs.
