Pristine sound quality demanded by the most discriminating microphone user
Same large-diaphragm element as the renowned AT4050 studio microphone; true condenser design
Superior anti-shock engineering ensures low handling noise and quiet performance
High-quality double-sided PCB uses surface-mount components. Extensive grounding plane and attention to best-practice grounding methods minimize electrical noise
Multi-stage grille design offers excellent protection against plosives and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity
Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
Custom transformer improves performance specifications by isolating against noise and RF interference, and providing excellent saturation characteristics that contribute to smooth linear sound quality
Robust design for enduring dependability on the road
Quiet-Flex™ stand clamp provides silent, flexible microphone positioning
Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad
