DESCRIPTION

Audio-Technica's AT8538 is a versatile in-line power module designed to supply power to a wide range of Audio-Technica condenser microphone elements and capsules. Offering dual power options — 48V phantom power via the connected mixer or preamp, or a single AA battery for standalone operation — this module ensures reliable performance in virtually any installation or live sound scenario.

The AT8538 is an essential component in systems utilising Audio-Technica's UniPoint, Engineered Sound, and other compatible condenser microphone elements. Its in-line form factor keeps the signal chain clean and unobtrusive, making it ideal for permanent installations in houses of worship, conference rooms, theatres, and broadcast environments.

  • Dual power capability: 48V phantom power or single AA battery operation
  • Switchable low-frequency roll-off: Reduces unwanted low-end rumble and handling noise
  • In-line XLR design: Integrates seamlessly into standard microphone cabling runs
  • Compact and lightweight: Discreet placement in installed sound and live applications
  • Battery status LED: Provides at-a-glance confirmation of power condition

Whether you're specifying a distributed microphone system for a corporate boardroom or deploying gooseneck condensers in a lectern application, the AT8538 delivers dependable, transparent powering with the build quality and signal integrity that professionals demand.
