Audio Technica AT4053B Microphone

Overview
Specially engineered to meet the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement, the Audio-Technica AT4053b is a versatile studio microphone that guarantees exceptional performance. Its hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source. This makes it perfect for capturing clear and focused audio in any professional setting.

The AT4053b also features direct-coupled, balanced output which results in a clean signal even under high-output conditions. Its transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients, ensuring top-notch sound quality. Additionally, it comes with a switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad, making it suitable for a wide range of miking applications. With a rugged turned-brass microphone housing and state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques, the AT4053b is built to last and meets Audio-Technica’s stringent consistency and reliability standards.
