Audio-Technica AT4053B Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone

Description

This versatile studio performer can be utilized with confidence in all kinds of professional miking applications. Featuring direct-coupled balanced outputs for clean signals in high-output conditions, the microphone is without cost of the distortion associated with conventional transformer-coupled outputs. And its fast response to transients contributes to the open, transparent reproduction of even probably the most difficult-to-capture instruments. The microphone is fully RoHS-compliant – free from all substances specified in the EU directive at the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS). The AT4053b consists of two modular subassemblies: an AT4900b-48 body and an AT4053b-EL hypercardioid head capsule (both to be had one after the other). Additional interchangeable capsules are to be had in omnidirectional (AT4049b-EL) and cardioid (AT4051b-EL).

Specially engineered to meet probably the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement
Hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, bettering isolation of desired sound source
Direct-coupled, balanced output ends up in a clean signal even under high-output conditions
Transformerless circuitry virtually gets rid of low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients
Switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad
