About Audio-Technica AT4053b
FEATURED REVIEWS
Super clear sound.
Fantastic, even audio indoors. I use it in my sound treated studio and also at live events as a 'shotgun' mic. It compares well to mics costing twice as much! This is pro gear in my opinion. There is a minor bit of self noise from moving the mic rapidly - like something moving inside the cartridge. Only with lots of movement - not a problem in normal use.
Find unparalleled audio fidelity with the Audio-Technica AT4053b End Address Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone, a pinnacle of professional-grade sound equipment designed for both studio and field applications. This microphone is meticulously engineered, comprising two main components: the robust AT4900b-48 microphone body and the precision-crafted AT4053b-EL hypercardioid head capsule.
The hypercardioid polar pattern of the AT4053b is its standout feature, offering exceptional directionality and focus on the sound source while significantly reducing side and rear ambient noises. This makes it an ideal choice for capturing clear, undisturbed audio in a variety of settings, from sound-treated recording studios to dynamic live events.
Crafted with a durable turned-brass housing, the AT4053b is built to withstand the rigors of both studio and on-location use, ensuring reliability and longevity. The microphone's internal transformerless circuitry is a testament to its high-quality design, minimizing distortion and preserving the integrity of high-speed transients. This results in a pristine, natural sound reproduction that professionals demand.
The direct-coupled balanced output of the AT4053b ensures a clean, interference-free signal even when operating at high output levels, catering to the most demanding recording situations. For added versatility, the microphone features a switchable high-pass filter, which effectively reduces low-frequency noise and rumble, and a -10dB pad that allows for the capture of louder sound sources without distortion.
Expand your recording capabilities with the option of additional interchangeable head capsules (sold separately), each offering different pickup patterns to suit your specific audio requirements.
The AT4053b comes complete with essential accessories, including a microphone stand clip for secure mounting, a foam windscreen to minimize wind and breath noise, and a protective carrying case for safe transportation and storage.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or an audio enthusiast, the Audio-Technica AT4053b Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone stands as a high-quality, versatile, and reliable choice for capturing audio with exceptional clarity and detail.
