Product Information

The Audio-Technica AT4051A Microphone is a small diaphragm, transformerless studio microphone designed for voice and instrument recording as well as sound reinforcement. The microphone features a cardioid polar pattern which effectively minimizes off-axis pick up resulting in focused and accurate sound reproduction. The microphone is modular and consists of 2 modular assemblies which are threaded together. The

The AT4051A handles sound pressure levels (SPL) up to 143dB at no greater than 1% THD, a suitable solution for percussion and drums as well as brass and other sources high in volume. The microphone features a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz with a low cut roll-off switch, eliminating low end noise and "popping" below 80Hz.

Features

• A Small-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser

Designed for voice/instrument recording or for sound reinforcement applications, the AT4051A has 20-20kHz response with 143dB of maximum sound pressure level, 127dB of dynamic range, and 1% maximum THD.

• Modular Design

The modular design of the AT4051A consists of the AT4049-ELE power supply and AT4053-ELE head capsule. Optional accessory capsules may be used, increasing versatility.

• Cardioid Polar Pattern

The off-axis response is well controlled, yielding a highly uniform cardioid polar pattern. Noise caused by monitors, instruments, voices and general room ambiance are eliminated.

• Low Cut Roll-Off

The Low Cut roll-off switch eliminates hum, rumble and "popping" noise below 80Hz.

• Pristine Signal Output

The high quality element and transformerless design yield a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, and handles sound pressure levels up to 143dB. The result is accurate quite output of even the most subtle signal.
