Audio-Technica AT4047/SV Cardioid Studio Vocal Instrument Condenser Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT4047/SV Cardioid Studio Vocal Instrument Condenser Microphone offers a rich, warm sound that is reminiscent of classic F.E.T. studio microphones. Despite its vintage-inspired sound, this microphone incorporates state-of-the-art technology. Designed with a dual-diaphragm capsule, it ensures precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range. This versatile microphone is ideal for a range of applications including vocals, strings, acoustic guitar, instrument ensembles, small vocal groups, and voiceovers. Whether you are in a professional studio or working on live sound and broadcast projects, the AT4047/SV exceeds expectations with its wide dynamic range, incredibly low self-noise, and high SPL capability.

Audio-Technica takes pride in the precision and quality of their products, and the AT4047/SV is no exception. The cardioid polar pattern reduces the pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of the desired sound source. Its transformer-coupled output and specially-tuned element provide sonic characteristics closely aligning with early F.E.T. studio microphone designs. Additionally, the microphone features a vintage silver-matte finish, adding an aesthetic appeal to its robust functionality.

Incorporated with modern surface-mount electronics, the AT4047/SV complies with Audio-Technica's stringent standards for consistency and reliability. Users will also appreciate its switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad, allowing further customization to suit various recording environments and requirements. Precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle further enhances element stability and optimal sensitivity, ensuring consistent and high-quality audio output.
