The Audio Technica AT-3060 provides valve tube microphone technology to both project and professional recordists. The cardioid condenser microphone features individually tested, hand selected tubes that provide a warm, analog saturated signal on output. Unlike conventional tube microphones, the AT-3060 does not require an external power supply, simply connect a standard XLR cable to a standard +48 Volt phantom power source.
The head-grille houses a large diaphragm capsule providing high sensitivity and smooth audio detail while maintaining a low noise floor. The capsule features a cardioid pick-up pattern which is effective against minimizing audio at the off-axis sections of the microphone. The tube assembly and diaphragm are elastically mounted for even further protection against damage and structure born noise. An external elastic shock mount is included.
