The microphone provides an extremely smooth, extended response on- and off-axis. Operates on battery or phantom power. An integral 80 Hz high-pass filter provides easy switching from a flat frequency response to a low-end roll-off.
The roll-off position reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically coupled vibrations. The high sensitivity of the AT8010 assures useful output and an excellent match to most input sources. In some cases, however, an attenuator such as the Audio-Technica AT8202 may be required between the microphone and preamplifier to avoid overloading sensitive input stages.
