A flat-response/ low-roll-off switch is built into the integral power module of the microphone. The low-roll-off feature attenuates low-frequency response to compensate for proximity effect if the unit is used very close. Low roll-off can also be used to minimize background ambiance, air conditioning rumble, mechanical noise, etc., improving the quality of sound pickup under difficult conditions.
The microphone element is enclosed in a rugged housing with a low-reflectance black finish.
The provided AT8102 two-stage foam windscreen simply slips over the head of the microphone, effectively reducing wind noise or popping when used extra close.
