Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the bendable arm have 5/8" on both ends? (i.e. want to use the Atlas Sound AD-5B Coupling 5/8" fem to fem to extend with a second arm). Thanks

A: Yes, the threading for the gooseneck is 5/8"-27 so the AD-5B coupler is compatible.

Q: 2. Could you screw in a Shure 55SH Series II to the end of the gooseneck and would this gooseneck/stand hold that mic up?

A: Yes that would work.

Q: 3. If 2 people were sitting at a table roughly 3-4 feet apart and this mic were set in between them would it pick them both up clearly?

A: The microphone may pick up some speech from both speakers if they are sitting side by side in front of the mic. However, as it is a cardioid mic (not omni), you may not get satisfactory results in terms of intelligibility with two speakers sitting opposite each other. We would recommend you use 2 of these mics, one for each speaker.

Q: 4. Will this work on a standard PA system or does it require a pre-amp?

A: This can connect to a standard XLR mic connection on a mixer. The mixer must provide 48v phantom power to run.

Q: 5. I notice a lot of details talking about a battery powered phantom source, but perhaps that this one is not the version that works with a battery? Does this have a battery phantom source, or is there another model that does? This is the only gooseneck that comes up under the battery powered search filter.

A: We use this mic with a wireless mic base unit that is part of System10 from Audio-Technica. The mic base is the phantom p/s. The combination provides good and clear service for our needs. We use it as a podium mic.

Q: 6. Will a AT4033a microphone fit on this shockmount?

A: No this shock mount was design to fit handheld and shotgun microphones, the AT4033a is a recording microphone and it will fit better on the shock mount in the link bellow. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1352188-REG/audio_technica_at8449a_shockmount.html

Q: 7. On/off switch?

A: There is not an on/off switch. It would need to either be unplugged or, preferably, muted (or turned all the way down) at the soundboard, for it to not be on. Also, this requires phantom power to operate. But all of those things are very deliberate and appropriate. Generally speaking, no mic in this class of mics anywhere has an on/off switch. Why? Because this mic is much more powerful and sensitive than a standard hand-held mic. And it is designed for picking up singers or instruments that are just out of reach to the mic anyways.. .and the act of a person just touching the mic, in a higher volume application, will easily cause a thumping sound noticeable to the audience. Again, rightly so. This is NOT suppose to have a person's mouth just a an inch or two away. That is not what this mic is for. It is for (a) recording a group of voices/instruments that are a few feet away, not inches away... so it picks up sounds that are further away than a hand held vocal mic will so. To do that, it is much more sensitive and shouldn't be touched during operation. If you have to move it during a performance, then the sound person should mute it at the soundboard during the move, your you'll hear lots of popping and cracking noises. That all being said, this is all the way it is suppose to work... if any of these things were not true, the mic wouldn't be able to accomplish its main missions very well. It does what it was designed to do VERY well at a GREAT price for the excellent quality of mic this is. i've used several of these for years and have been very happy with them.

Q: 8. Any idea how to store and transport several of these (we have 12)? I can't find any case made specifically for gooseneck microphones, at this point thinking of just buying multiple large hardshell cases and cutting out foam to somewhat fit them, not ideal or cheap but can't think of any other solution.

A: I don't really know. Ours came in a slim box and the mic was wrapped in bubble wraps.

Q: 9. What is the diameter of bottom part of shock mount? In other words, what size hole should I drill?

A: Per the instructions booklet for the shock mount, 1. Drill a 44mm (1-3/4 in.) hole in desired mounting surface. 2. Mark and drill starter holes for screws, using shock mount as a template. We have the shock mount installed in a podium now, so I can't physically verify this dimension, but my memory is the instructions have this correct.

Q: 10. What transmitter is this headset compatible with?

A: The Audio-Technica AT889cW is compatible with current Audio Technica UniPak transmitters which feature a 4 pin locking Hirose connector. This includes the 1800, 2000, and 3000 series as well as the System 9 and 10 series.
