I'm hoping someone on either list can answer the following questions about two Audio Technica microphones. Both are single-point stereo, both require a single AA battery, both have a five-pin XLR connector at their base, with an adapter that turns the five-pin cable into two three-pin standard XLR connectors suitable for plugging into mixers. One microphone has a three-position switch--off, on, and on with bass roll-off, non-adjustable. My questions are the following:
1. What are the correct model numbers for these mics? I seem to remember one was an AT822 and the other an AT828, or possibly AT825, I just don't recall. 2. How do these microphones use phantom power when phantom power is either 24 or 48 volts and they have a volt-and-a-half battery in them? 3. If I use phantom power, do I still need the battery? 4. If I were to use either mic with one of the new handheld digital recorders that supply plug-in power, is that of any use, or is plug-in power different from phantom power? Thanks for helping clear up my mystery. I had the mic with the switch and bass roll-off setting, but when it was stolen, I found it could not be directly replaced, so I went with the next model in the line that has no switch and no selectable roll-off setting. Thanks in advance. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
