Audio-Technica AT4047MP Multi-pattern Condenser Microphone
Overview:
The AT4047MP from Audio-Technica embodies vintage sound within a modern multi-pattern microphone design. Featuring selectable omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-of-eight polar patterns, this microphone delivers exceptional sonic performance reminiscent of early F.E.T. studio microphone designs. Engineered to meet the stringent requirements of professional recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement applications, the AT4047MP offers versatility and high-quality sound reproduction across various scenarios. Its wide dynamic range, remarkably low self-noise, and high SPL capability make it suitable for capturing vocals, strings, acoustic guitar, instrument ensembles, small vocal groups, and voiceovers with precision and clarity.
Features:
Three switchable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-of-eight
Specifically engineered for professional recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement applications
Transformer-coupled output and specially tuned element deliver vintage F.E.T. studio microphone characteristics
Exceptionally low self-noise, wide dynamic range, and high SPL capability ensure superior audio capture
Dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the microphone's frequency range
Precision-machined nickel-plated brass acoustic element baffle enhances stability and sensitivity
Vintage silver-matte finish on both the microphone and shock mount for aesthetic appeal
Symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections for an open acoustical environment
Custom shock mount provides superior isolation for reduced handling noise
Integral 80 Hz high-pass filter switch and 10 dB pad switch offer additional flexibility
