This versatile, modular microphone can be confidently used in a wide variety of professional microphone applications. Thanks to its directly coupled, balanced outputs, the microphone always delivers crystal-clear sound and, unlike conventional microphones with transformer-coupled outputs, produces virtually no distortion.
The very fast transient response contributes to open, transparent sound reproduction - even with difficult-to-record instruments.
The AT4053b consists of two modular components: an AT4900b-48 microphone body (shaft) and a corresponding condenser microphone capsule (AT4049b-EL omnidirectional, AT4051b-EL cardioid, and AT4053b-EL hypercardioid). All microphone capsules are interchangeable and available separately.
Features
-Specifically designed to meet the special requirements in the field of professional recording technology, broadcast, and sound reinforcement.
- Hypercardioid polar pattern suppresses lateral ambient noise
- DC-coupled stages and the balanced output provide a distortion-free signal even at high output levels.
- The transformerless circuit design avoids distortion in the low-frequency range and achieves excellent transient reproduction.
- Switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and switchable 10 dB pad
- Robust, turned brass housing for high operational reliability
- The state-of-the-art design and manufacturing ensure that Audio-Technica's high standards for tolerances and reliability are reliably met.
