SPECIFICATIONS:
ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS SPECIFICATIONS:
The microphone shall be a back plate pre-polarized condenser with a supercardioid polar pattern.
The microphone shall operate on 5-52 Volts biased from a wireless bodypack or phantom power
and the nominal output impedance shall be equal to 250 ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall
have a sensitivity of 5 mV / Pa at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a maximum SPL level of ≥140
dB with a THD of 0.5%. The headset shall be made of rubber coated metal alloy with steel coiled
gooseneck supporting the microphone element. The microphone shall be the Audix HT2.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE:
The HT2 is a low impedance microphone designed for use with the Audix RAD360 wireless
bodypack. The HT2 may be used with other brands of wireless bodypacks, however, the connector
and wiring will most likely have to be modified in order to match the specs of the system being used.
(see wiring diagram of HT2)
HT2-P: The wired version, HT2P should be plugged into one of the mic level inputs on your mixer,
console, or recording device. The HT2P will NOT operate without phantom power voltage (9-48
Volts recommended) which is available on most professional mic preamps and mixing devices.
If phantom power is not available on your equipment, you may use the APS911 phantom power
supply which allows battery powered operation. Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone from
a PA system unless the channel is muted or the volume of the system is turned down. Failure to
do so may result in a loud “popping” noise which could seriously damage the speakers in the PA
system.
USER TIPS:
The HT2 is designed so that the headband is worn around the back of the head with the curved
ear pieces resting around both ears. The dual ear system keeps the headset stable once it is in the
desired position. The microphone is at the very end of the flexible boom and should be positioned
on the user’s left side of the cheek just off the corner of the mouth. The headset may be adjusted
to fit by either loosening or tightening rubber strap that is attached in the middle of the headband.
For optimum sound and performance, DO NOT put the microphone directly in front of the mouth as
the pickup pattern of the mic is intended to pick up sound from off-axis.
