Audio-Technica AT4047MP - Multi-Pattern Condenser Large Diaphragm Microphone

Overview

The AT4047MP features a transformer-coupled output and a specially tuned element, providing sonic characteristics reminiscent of early F.E.T. studio microphone designs. Its dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range, while the precision-machined, nickel-plated brass acoustic element baffle enhances element stability and sensitivity. The microphone's open acoustical environment minimizes unwanted internal reflections, and its vintage silver-matte finish adds a classic touch. Certified by the METAlliance, the AT4047MP ensures high performance in any professional setting.
