Audio-Technica AT4047/SV Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The Audio-Technica AT4047/SV is a premier large-diaphragm condenser microphone that delivers the rich, warm, and classic sonic characteristics of early F.E.T. studio microphones, blending a coveted vintage sound with state-of-the-art modern performance. Designed for the most critical acoustic requirements in professional recording, broadcasting, and sound reinforcement, the AT4047/SV is a versatile powerhouse for any studio.
Its transformer-coupled output is crucial to its sonic signature, imparting a pleasing warmth that excels on a wide range of sources. Whether you are capturing nuanced studio vocals, the rich overtones of acoustic guitar, the complex sound of string ensembles, or crystal-clear voiceovers, this microphone provides exceptional clarity and depth. The microphone's impressive technical specifications, including exceptionally low self-noise (9 dB SPL) and an extremely wide dynamic range, ensure clean, high-fidelity recordings even under demanding conditions. The precise cardioid polar pattern and vintage silver-matte finish make the AT4047/SV a standout choice that performs as beautifully as it looks.
