The Audio-Technica AT4051B Cardioid Condenser Microphone is ideal for professional recording and critical applications in broadcast. Featuring direct-coupled balanced outputs for clean signals in high-output conditions, the AT4051B microphone is totally free of the distortion associated with conventional transformer-coupled outputs. Its fast response to transients contributes to the open, transparent reproduction of even the most difficult-to-capture instruments.
The AT4051B mic is fully RoHS-compliant—free from all substances specified in the EU directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS). The AT4051b consists of two modular subassemblies: an AT4900b-48 body and an AT4051b-EL cardioid head capsule.
Recommended uses of the AT4051B are acoustic guitar, percussion, drum overheads (mainly for cymbals), and live sound instrument recording where rear-cancellation is required.
Audio-Technica AT4051B Cardioid Condenser Mic Includes:
AT8405a stand clamp for 5/8"-27 threaded stands; windscreen; protective carrying case
Features:
Specially engineered to meet the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement
High front-to-back rejection ratio—cardioid polar pattern improves 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 A-T's stringent consistency and reliability standards
RoHS-compliant—free from all substances specified in the EU directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS)
