GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The
trGolden

Astaticts lirnitedproduction
Bicenten-
nial rnicrophone comrnernorating
our nationts
200th
birth-
day, will
be-the
rnost
treasured
rnicrophone in the
history
of our
country.
The
world farnous Astatic D-104
rnicrophone,
ernblazcined
withthe
"Golden
Eaglerr,
is rnounted
on
a new Astatic 6 wire
transistorized
desk stand
for
universal
hook-up applications.
Both
rnicrophone
and
de
sk stand are beautifully
plated
in
2
0K
gold
to
add the final touch
of
elegance.
Ttre
Golden
Eagle
(T-UG9-DI04,
Gold)
Stand
has
a built-in
two-stage
silicon transistor
amplifier having high irnpedance
input.
The
output irnpedance is suitable for tihe
inputs of
rnost all cornrnercial
transrnitters
or
transceivers. The
high
gain
available
ensures
desired rnodulation capability.
The
gaincanbe
readily adjusted for the
desired rnodulation.
The
control is
recessed
to avoid
accidental
changes. The
result is an ideal base station
rnicrophone for
CB,
Arnateur
or other comrnunication transceiver
or
transrnitter. The
tailored
response and high
gain
ensures excellent talk-power
and
intelligibility
- -
and full rnodulation.

SWITCHING
CONTROL:
Most types of
switching
are possible
by
proper hookup
wiring with
no changes in
the stand reqr.riled.
The
standis factory
u'iled
so thatin theunoperated
position
the black wire
is
connected
to the blue wire and
the
yellow
wire
is grounded
to
the shield. Depressing
the
actuator bar connects
the
red wire
to
the blue
wire
and ungrounds
the
yeIIou' wire.

TURN
'rON"
the transrnitter and
squeeze
the
actuator
bar in direction
as
noted in Fig.
1.
Operating the actuator
bar
operates
the
transrnit-receive-
circuits. While
talking into the nricrophone
at
norrnal
operating
distance,
slowly
turn the volurne control
(Fig.

up
until
rnodulation
is at desired
level. Once
properly
set, the volurne control
should
pof

under
equivalent
conditions.
For desired
