Specifications

In the interest of standards development, A.T.U.S. offers full 

details on its test methods to other industry  

professionals on request.

5. Using a 1.5 mm (

/

") drill bit, drill three pilot holes for the mounting 

  screws. (If mounting below the table surface, be certain 

NOT

 to drill 

  pilot holes through the table.)
6. Place the AT8474 mount over the hole and partially tighten the  
  three screws. Then place the microphone in the AT8474 so that the  
  microphone’s power module (base) extends through the AT8474 mount  
  into the hole. Tighten all three screws evenly. For maximum security,  
  the screws should be tight enough to ensure that the microphone is  
  held securely in place and cannot be removed without loosening  
  the screws.
7.  If mounting the AT8474 mount below the surface of the table, slide  
  the rubber trim ring over the microphone (above the table surface) and  
  seat it between the microphone and the sides of the hole for a  
  finished appearance. (If mounting the AT8474 above the surface of the  
  table, you may also choose to use the trim ring beneath the surface of  
  the table, for added attenuation of noise, shock and vibration.)
8. After installing the microphone, assure maximum shock mount  
  effectiveness by providing some slack in the connecting cable. The  
  cable can be secured to the table with a standard wire clip or cable tie  
  (not included).

Architect’s and Engineer’s Specifications

The microphone shall be a fixed-charge condenser designed for 
permanent installation or portable applications. It shall have a 
hypercardioid polar pattern with a uniform 100° angle of acceptance 
and a frequency response of 80 Hz to 20,000 Hz. It shall be capable of 
accepting optional interchangeable elements for additional polar patterns. 
The microphone 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 V, 1 Pascal. Output shall be low impedance 
balanced (250 ohms). It shall offer outstanding rejection of radio frequency 
interference (RFI).  

The microphone shall incorporate 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. It shall include a recessed 
switch to permit choice of flat response or low-frequency roll-off. The 
microphone shall incorporate an illuminating mute switch in the power 
module. The mute switch shall illuminate when the microphone is on. The 
mute switch shall be quiet in operation with no mechanical clicks or pops 
and shall always return to the off position (after momentarily turning on to 
verify microphone connection) when phantom power is restored. 

A universal isolation-type shock mount suitable for above or below surface 
installation shall be supplied for mounting the microphone in a solid surface. 
It shall be possible to firmly secure the microphone in the mount. The mount 
shall include appropriate hardware for installation. For alternative mounting 
and portable applications, the microphone shall be supplied with a stand 
clamp to permit attaching the microphone directly to a standard

The microphone shall be a small-diameter gooseneck design, with an 
overall length of 197.3 mm (7.77") and a head diameter of 8.4 mm (0.33"). 
Weight shall be 104 grams (3.7 oz). Finish shall be low- reflectance black.
