Audio-Technica AT4051B Cardioid Condenser Shotgun Microphone

Share

Ideal for professional recording and critical applications in broadcast, the Audio-Technica AT4051b is a versatile studio performer designed for a wide variety of professional miking applications. Featuring direct-coupled balanced outputs for clean signals in high-output conditions, the 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 consists of two modular subassemblies: the AT4900b-48 body and AT4051b-EL cardioid head capsule.

Audio-Technica AT4051b - Features:
