Audio-technica ATND933AC Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Product Description

The AUDIO-TECHNICA ATND933AC is a cardioid condenser microphone designed for hanging installation applications. It captures audio with a directional cardioid polar pattern, focusing on sound from the front while rejecting off-axis noise from the sides and rear. As a condenser type, it requires phantom power to operate and delivers the sensitivity and clarity expected in professional fixed-install audio environments. This microphone is typically installed by AV integration technicians and system contractors in spaces where ceiling or overhead mounting is required.

The ATND933AC is suited for applications where a discreet, ceiling-hung microphone is needed. Common install scenarios include conference rooms, boardrooms, houses of worship, lecture halls, and performance venues where microphones must be suspended overhead and remain out of sightlines. Its cardioid pattern makes it effective in rooms where sound reinforcement or recording requires controlled pickup from a defined direction below the capsule.

Key Features

• Cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis and rear noise for focused pickup
• Condenser capsule design provides high sensitivity for fixed-install environments
• Hanging installation form factor suits ceiling-mount applications
• Discreet profile appropriate for conference, worship, and lecture spaces
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hanging condenser microphone for fixed-install audio systems requiring overhead microphone placement in professional or commercial environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed AV integrator or sound systems contractor. Confirm that the connected mixer or audio interface provides 48-volt phantom power before connecting the microphone, as condenser capsules require it to operate. Route the cable through any ceiling fixtures or cable management systems before making the XLR connection, as repositioning after installation can be difficult. Follow local building and fire codes when penetrating ceiling materials for cable runs.
