Description
]
The ES935S/C is a wide-range condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. It is designed for quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television and other demanding sound pickup applications. The small-diameter gooseneck design permits highly flexible positioning while maintaining a smooth, well-contoured appearance. An included snap-on foam windscreen effectively reduces noise from wind or ventilation air currents.
The cardioid polar pattern provides a 120° angle of acceptance. Additional interchangeable elements with hypercardioid (100°) and
MicroLine ® (90°) pickup patterns are available.
The integral power module can be powered from any external 11V to 52V DC phantom power supply. A recessed switch in the power module permits choice of flat response or low-frequency roll-off to help control undesired ambient noise. A mute switch in the base lights when the mic is “on.”
The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing with a low-reflectance black finish. It features an XLRM-type connector insert at its base, allowing it to be plugged directly into an
XLRF-type panel jack or microphone cable. In addition to an AT8658 heavy-duty shock mount, an AT8651 thread-mount adapter is included to permit attachment of the XLR mic base to a standard 5 /
8
"-27 threaded mic stand or mounting flange.

Installation and Operation
]
Output is low impedance balanced. The output connector mates with XLRF-type cable connectors. The balanced signal appears across Pins 2 and 3, while the ground (shield) connection is Pin 1. Output is phased so that positive acoustic pressure produces positive voltage at Pin 2, in accordance with industry convention.
used, the diameter of the cable should be 0.2"
(5 mm) maximum. Solder the conductors to the XLRF insert using Pin 1 as ground (shield),
Pin 2 as positive (signal hot), and Pin 3 as negative (signal common). Reassemble the adapter mount and test the wiring.
The microphone can be mounted on a podium or desktop with the included AT8658 shock mount. A special isolator attenuates noise, shock and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface. Installation details are provided on the back of this sheet.
The microphone can also be mounted using the AT8651 mounting adapter. The microphone inserts directly into the XLRFtype connector end of the adapter, while the other end is 5 /
8
"-27 threaded to allow connection to a standard microphone desk/floor stand, or a mounting flange on a podium or desktop. To install: Disassemble the XLRF insert from the adapter body. Route the mic cable (2-conductor shielded, not supplied) either through the side hole or from the bottom of the adapter body. If the side hole is
The provided snap-on foam windscreen simply slips over the element, effectively reducing wind noise or “popping” when used extra close.
The small-diameter gooseneck is easy to manipulate for proper positioning. Heavily lubricated, it operates smoothly and quietly.
Should the unit become noisy with prolonged use, apply a light machine oil directly on the gooseneck area affected.
While a modern condenser microphone is not unduly sensitive to the environment, temperature extremes can be harmful.
Exposure to high temperature can result in gradual and permanent reduction of the output level. Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for long periods of time. Extremely high humidity should also be avoided.

Architects and Engineers Specifications
]
The microphone shall be a fixed-charge condenser with a frequency response of
30 Hz to 20,000 Hz and a cardioid polar pattern with uniform 120° angle of acceptance. It shall be capable of accepting optional interchangeable elements for additional polar patterns. It shall operate from an external 11V to 52V DC phantom power source. It shall be capable of handling sound input levels up to
138 dB with a dynamic range of 109 dB.
Nominal open-circuit output voltage shall be
10.0 mV at 1 kHz, 1 Pascal. Output shall be low impedance balanced (250 ohms).
The microphone shall have a self-contained power module with an XLRM-type connector at the base for direct connection to a mating
XLRF-type panel jack or cable connector. The power module shall include an illuminating mute switch to indicate “on” status and a recessed switch for low-frequency roll-off. A shock mount shall be supplied for mounting in a solid surface. An included mounting adapter shall permit attaching the microphone directly to a standard 5 /
8
"-27 thread. A snap-on foam windscreen shall also be included.
The microphone shall be a small-diameter gooseneck design, with an overall length of
7.52" (191.0 mm). Head diameter shall be
0.33" (8.4 mm). The microphone weight shall be 3.0 oz (86 grams). Finish shall be lowreflectance black.
The Audio-Technica ES935S/C is specified.
