The Audio-Technica AT4049b is a premium omnidirectional condenser microphone designed for critical applications in professional recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement. With a direct-coupled balanced output, it delivers clean, transparent signals even in high-output conditions, effectively eliminating the distortion commonly associated with transformer-coupled outputs. This makes the AT4049b the ideal choice for capturing accurate, natural sound in the most demanding recording environments.
Engineered to meet the highest acoustic standards, the AT4049b features transformerless circuitry that ensures superior performance with high-speed transients and low-frequency distortion elimination. Its fast transient response contributes to an open, transparent reproduction, making it perfect for capturing even the most difficult-to-record instruments. The omnidirectional polar pattern allows for maximum ambient pickup, making it perfect for ambient recordings or ensemble recordings where capturing the full environment is important.
The microphone is fully RoHS-compliant, meaning it is free from all substances specified in the EU directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS), contributing to a more sustainable recording process.
