Audio Technica AT4053B Hypercardioid Condenser Modular Microphone (Audio-Technica AT-4053B / AT 4053B)

This versatile studio performer may be used with confidence in a wide variety of professional miking applications. Featuring direct-coupled balanced outputs for clean signals in high-output conditions, the AT4053b is totally free of the distortion associated with conventional transformer-coupled outputs. And its fast response to transients contributes to the open, transparent reproduction of even the most difficult-to-capture instruments.

FEATURES

• Specially engineered to meet the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement
• Hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
• Direct-coupled, balanced output results in a clean signal even under high-output conditions
• Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients
• Switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad
• Rugged turned-brass microphone housing for enduring dependability
• State-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure compliance with Audio-Technica's stringent consistency and reliability standards
