The microphone shall be a dual-element,
fixed-charge condenser with a frequency
response of 90 Hz to 15,000 Hz and a
cardioid polar pattern with uniform 120°
angle of acceptance. It shall contain two
shock-mounted cardioid elements with
isolated grounds. 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. It shall have a fixed low-frequency
roll-off of 120 Hz, 12 dB/octave. Output shall
be low-impedance balanced (250 ohms).
The microphone shall be a small-diameter,
rigid-pipe design with pivoting ball-in-socket
arrangement and lighted mute switch. The
microphone shall have an integral dual power
module with 6-pin XLRM-type connector for
use with the included 30' splitter cable. The
cable shall connect to the microphone by a
6-pin XLRF-type connector and shall terminate
in two 3-pin XLRM-type connectors. The
power module shall include a 15 dB pad switch,
three-mode mute switch, and defeat switch.
The microphone’s overall length shall be
19.51" (495.6 mm). Head diameter shall be
1.51" (38.4 mm). The microphone assembly
(less cable) shall weigh 3.31 lb (1.5 kg). Finish
shall be low-reflectance black.
The Audio-Technica ES995 is specified.
