With a capsule diameter of just 2.5 mm, the AT892 MicroSet provides the
ultimate in low-profile, high-performance audio. This omnidirectional
condenser microminiature headworn mic offers an ergonomic under-ear
design: its flexible, lightweight contoured loop hooks behind the ear for an
ultra-secure, comfortable fit with or without glasses.
The AT892 MicroSet's flexible design
enables it to be worn on either the left
or right ear. Position the lightweight
contoured loop around the back of your
ear, so that the boom extends from the
bottom of your ear as shown. Bend the
loop as needed to achieve a secure,
comfortable fit, so that the MicroSet is not
dislodged by shaking your head. Remove
the MicroSet and bend a gentle curve in
the microphone's boom. Hook the
MicroSet back around your ear, and adjust
the boom as needed to follow the contour
of your face, positioning the microphone
near the corner of your mouth. MicroSet
has a large acoustical sweet spot; experiment
with placement near the corner of your
mouth for optimal performance.
A cable clip is provided for strain relief, allowing the MicroSet to remain
securely in place without the weight of the cable pulling on the headset. To
install the cable clip, slip the cable into the snap-on connector and attach the
clip to clothing, leaving enough slack on the MicroSet side of the clip to allow
for free, comfortable motion.
The donut-shaped moisture guard is provided to protect the element from
sweat and moisture. Position the moisture guard as close to the element as
possible to provide maximum protection. To remove the moisture guard, first
remove the element cover and place it out of harm's way. Gently slide the
moisture guard over the element. Replace the element cover.
The AT892 is intended for use in professional applications where remote
power is available. It requires 11V to 52V DC phantom power, which may be
provided by a mixer or console, or by a separate, in-line source such as the
Audio-Technica AT8801 single-channel or CP8506 four-channel phantom
power supplies.The cable is terminated with a locking 4-pin connector for use
with the included AT8539 power module, as well as with all Audio-Technica
UniPak
™
body-pack wireless transmitters.
Output from the power module's XLRM-type connector is low impedance
(Lo-Z) balanced. The signal appears across Pins 2 and 3; Pin 1 is ground
(shield). Output phase is “Pin 2 hot” – positive acoustic pressure produces
positive voltage at Pin 2.
Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where
temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for extended periods. Extremely high
humidity should also be avoided.
