Audio-Technica AT4047MP Multi-Pattern Vocal Instrument Condenser Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT4047MP offers a unique combination of vintage sound and modern technology in a versatile multi-pattern design. Featuring selectable omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-of-eight polar patterns, this microphone is crafted to meet the critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement. The transform-coupled output and specially tuned element deliver sonic characteristics reminiscent of early F.E.T. studio microphone designs. With its wide dynamic range, incredibly low self-noise, and high SPL capability, the AT4047MP is an exceptional choice for capturing vocals, strings, acoustic guitars, instrument ensembles, small vocal groups, and voiceovers.

Engineered to provide precise polar pattern definition across its full frequency range, the AT4047MP features a dual-diaphragm capsule design. The precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle enhances element stability and optimal sensitivity, while the open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections. Additionally, its vintage silver-matte finish enhances both the microphone and its custom shock mount, offering superior isolation. Certified by the Music Engineering and Technology Alliance (METAlliance), the AT4047MP stands out as a reliable and sophisticated tool for any audio professional.
