AT4047MP – Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

Manufacturer’s website

Audio-Technica’s AT4047MP delivers vintage sound in multi-pattern design with selectable omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-of-eight polar patterns. The microphones transformer-coupled output and specially tuned element provide sonic characteristics reminiscent of early F.E.T. studio microphone designs. With 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.

 

• – 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
