The AT8615RS desk stand features an internal electronic mute circuit designed to work with phantom-powered microphones. A rugged mechanical on/off switch providing push-on/push-off operation controls the mute circuit. The sturdy metal base is equipped with three-pin XLRF-type input and five-pin XLRM-type output connectors. It is designed to fit any phantom-powered gooseneck microphone with a three-pin XLRM-type output. The unit's heavy die-cast construction and rubber feet help minimize coupling of surface vibration while the low profile design with low-reflectance black finish provide minimum visibility.
