The Audio-Technica AT8666RSP desk stand base with user-programmable switch offers three settings: press on/press off, momentary on, and momentary off. The sturdy metal base is equipped with a three-pin XLRF-type in, and a three-pin XLRM-type output connector. It is designed to fit any phantom-powered gooseneck microphone with a three-pin XLRM-type output.
The AT8666RSP requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation. The electronics in the desk stand take up to 30 seconds to stabilize after power is applied; during this start-up period, some sonic disturbances may be heard upon switching if the system is "live."
A touch-sensitive on/off switch on the AT8666RSP offers three choices of switching modes. A switch marked "SW. FUNCTION" located on the bottom of the unit selects the desired mode. TOUCH ON/OFF: Touch the on/off switch once to turn the microphone on; touch again to turn off. MOM. ON (momentary on): Microphone is on only while the switch is being touched ("press to talk"). MOM. OFF (momentary off): Microphone is off only while the switch is being touched ("press to mute" function). The red LED on the top of the unit indicates when the microphone is "on."
