Audio-Technica AT4047MP Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

Audio-Technica's AT4047MP delivers vintage sound in a multi-pattern design with selectable omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-of-eight polar patterns. The microphone's transformer-coupled output and specially tuned element provide sonic characteristics reminiscent of early F.E.T. studio microphone designs. With a wide dynamic range, incredibly low self-noise and high SPL capability, this versatile microphone excels on vocals, strings, acoustic guitar, instrument ensembles, small vocal groups and voiceovers. Features: Three switchable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-of-eight Engineered to meet the critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement Transformer-coupled output and specially tuned element provide sonic characteristics reminiscent of early F.E.T. studio microphone designs Exceptionally low self-noise, wide dynamic range and high SPL capability Dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range of the microphone Precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity Vintage silver-matte finish on microphone and shock mount Open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections Custom shock mount provides superior isolation Integral 80 Hz high-pass filter switch and 10 dB pad switch Certified by the METAlliance (Music Engineering and Technology Alliance) Specifications: Microphones Element: Externally-polarized (DC bias) condenser Polar Pattern: Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Figure-of-eight Frequency Response: 20-18,000 Hz Low Frequency Roll Off: 80 Hz, 12 dB/octave Open Circuit Sensitivity: -42 dB (7.9 mV), re 1V at 1 Pa Maximum Input Sound Level: 155 dB SPL, 1 kHz at 1% T.H.D.; 165 dB SPL, with 10 dB pad (nominal) Noise: 14 dB Dynamic Range: 141 dB, 1 kHz at Max SPL Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 80 dB, 1 kHz at 1 Pa Phantom Power Requirements: 48V DC, 3.4 mA typical Switches: Polar selection; Flat, roll-off; 10 dB pad (nominal) Weight: 524 g (18.5 oz) Dimensions: 188.0 mm (7.40") long, 53.4 mm (2.10") maximum body diameter Output Connector: Integral 3-pin XLRM-type Output Connectors: Integral 3-pin XLRM-type Accessories Included: AT8449a/SV shock mount for 5/8"-27 threaded stands; microphone dust cover; protective carrying case Audio-Technica Case Style: R1
