Audio-Technica 40 Series AT4047/SV Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone

The rich, warm sound of Audio-Technica's AT4047/SV takes you back to the classic F.E.T. studio microphones, but there's nothing remotely old-fashioned about the technology behind that vintage sound.

The AT4047/SV studio condenser's dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range. With a wide dynamic range, incredibly low self-noise and high SPL capability, this versatile microphone excels on vocals, strings, acoustic guitar, instrument ensembles, small vocal groups and voiceovers.The AT4047/SV is another in a venerable line of studio artists' dreams come true: the 40 Series, from Audio-Technica.
