Continuously-variable Pattern Condenser Boundary Microphone
Description
The 220VP/220VPW is an inconspicuous, continuously-variable
polar pattern, button-style, condenser boundary microphone
designed for surface installation. Special attention has been
given to design the 220VP to resist interference from cell
phones, two-way communication, and other RF devices. The
integral 80Hz, 12dB/octave high-pass filter removes unwanted
low-frequency energy to improve intelligibility. The all metal,
threaded body and shock-absorbing bushings make for easy
installation in surfaces up to 3" thick.
When mounted on a hard surface, the 220VP will take
advantage of the “boundary effect” signal-to-noise ratio
increase. The 220VP is terminated with a standard 3-pin
XLRM-type connector recessed in the body of the microphone.
The 220VP features a continuously-variable polar pattern so
it can shorten the list of products an audio system designer
needs to consider when boundary condenser microphones
are specified. The installer can precisely tailor the polar pattern
for the best performance depending upon the application
or environment. The 220VP is primarily designed for speech
and vocal pickup in governmental, institutional, religious and
business applications.
Features
• Continuously-variable polar pattern control
• Securable polar-pattern control
• All-metal housing suitable for commercial applications
• Mounting hardware included
• RF (radio frequency) Resistant Architecture
• Integrated high-pass filter for elimination of
unwanted low-frequency energy
• Shock-absorbing polymer bushings included
• Inconspicuous design
1. Refer to dimensional drawing for dial orientation.
2. Adjust dial to desired polar pattern using a 1/8"
[3mm] flat-head precision screwdriver.
3. Install microphone.
Installation Note:
The mounting hole should be 15/16" [24mm]
in diameter to accommodate microphone
and polymer bushings.
Polar Pattern Adjustment
Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications
The microphone will be an inconspicuous, continuously-
variable polar pattern, button-style, condenser boundary
microphone designed for surface installation. The
microphone will have a continuously-variable polar pattern.
The sensitivity of the microphone will be –32dBV (25mv)
@ 1Pa. The frequency response will be 90Hz-17KHz. The
impedance of the microphone will be 120 ohms. The self-
noise will be 24dBA. The maximum SPL will be 120dB.
The microphone will include an integral 80Hz, 12dB/octave
high-pass filter to improve intelligibility. The microphone will
have a 3-pin XLRM-type connector allowing for bottom exit.
The microphone will operate from P12, P24 or P48 standard
phantom power consuming 4mA.
The microphone element and electronics will be enclosed
in a radio frequency resistant housing meeting or exceeding
EN55103-2. The 220VP will be 3-3/8" [85mm] long, 1-1/8"
[28mm] in diameter and stands 3/4" [20mm] above
boundary. The net weight [mass] will be 3.9oz [0.11Kg]. The
packaged weight [mass] will be 5.0oz [0.14Kg]. The 220VP
will have durable matte-black urethane or matte-white
finish.
The Astatic model 220VP or 220VPW is specified.
