Audio-Technica ATM610a/s Dynamic Vocal Microphone with Switch

Audio-Technica ATM610a/s Hypercardioid Dynamic Handheld Microphone with Switch

Tuned for clear, detailed, extended-range reproduction of lead and backup vocals, the premier Artist Series dynamic vocal mic is equipped with a rare-earth magnet, a tight hypercardioid polar pattern, a multi-stage grille design, and a MagnaLock on/off switch. The microphone features a newly designed internal shock mount design to reduce handling and stage noise. The Audio-Technica 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 the pickup of unwanted sounds and providing isolation between performers.

The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector. The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. Its multi-stage windscreen effectively controls popping, and 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.

When using the microphone in settings with a stage monitor speaker, the speaker should be located 135° off-axis (45° off the rear of the microphone).

The Audio-Technica ATM610a/S utilizes a MagnaLock on/off switch. This specially designed switch operates silently and may be locked in the “on” position to prevent accidental turn-off during use.
