The Basic System
AT895 Microphone
The AT895 Microphone itself is “all analog,” housing one
Audio-Technica MicroLine
®
element, four A-T cardioid
elements mounted in a co-planar diamond configuration, and
five mic preamps. The five amplified analog signals from the
microphone elements are sent individually down a special
detachable cable to the AT895CP Control Pack.
AT895CP Control Pack
The AT895CP Control Pack provides all the power, Digital
Signal Processing, and control for the AT895. Output from
the Control Pack is analog at mic-level (–23 dBV).
The lightweight, sturdy metal housing accepts a quick-change,
click-on Battery Housing for totally self-contained operation, if
desired. The Control Pack also operates on external 12-14V
DC — from an Anton/Bauer or similar-type battery source, or
from an AC adapter — via an industry-standard 4-pin XLR-type
connection.
