Audio Technica AT4047MP Multi-Pattern Large Diaphragm Condenser
The freedom of flexibility. It gives you the power to tackle any situation you find yourself in. And with the Audio Technica AT4047MP Multi-Pattern Condenser that’s exactly what you get.

Boasting three selectable polar patterns as well as a switchable 10dB pad and 80Hz HPF, you can be ready for anything. Capture your sound with clarity. A high-performance dual-diaphragm capsule ensures that your sound remains precise, defined, and articulate across the mic’s entire frequency range.

With low self-noise, a wide dynamic range, and astounding high SPL capabilities, the AT4047MP gives you professional results for both the studio and the stage. The AT4047MP also comes complete with a purpose-built shock mount to combat detrimental vibrations from your mic stand and surroundings, as well as a handy dust cover and a robust R1-style protective hard case.

Exceptional sonic performance. When it comes to detail, there’s nothing quite like the organic realism of a large diaphragm condenser. And the AT4047MP is no exception. Boasting a high-performance design with a transformer-coupled output and a specially-tuned element to faithfully re-create the revered sonic characteristics of early F.E.T studio microphone designs.

With its low self-noise, the AT4047MP ensures that your signal remains crystal-clear and free from internal noise and interference. Plus, thanks to a wide dynamic range and high SPL handling, your microphone is capable of handling a wide variety of sound sources with ease.

With the switchable 10dB pad engaged, the AT4047MP can handle a maximum SPL of 165dB. To put it into perspective, that’s louder than the ear-drum rupturing sound of a jet taking off from just 25 meters away. But that’s not all. This high-performance condenser boasts a dual-diaphragm capsule, ensuring that your sound remains precise and defined across the full frequency range of the mic, no matter what polar pattern you have selected.

And with an open acoustical environment in the AT4047MP’s symmetrical housing, unwanted internal reflections are kept to an absolute minimum. With each of the mic’s innovative features combined, the AT4047MP has been built to meet the most critical demands for recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement applications.

Phenomenal flexibility. Whether you’re in the studio or on the stage, every day is rarely the same. And it’s not always practical to keep a vast collection of microphones to handle different situations. That’s why Audio Technica has built the AT4047MP to give you an adaptable solution to take on anything the world can throw at you.

Choose between three independent polar patterns at the flick of a switch. When you want to capture sounds coming from all directions, the omnidirectional polar pattern lets you capture them with clarity. It’s perfect for picking up several different voices or instruments without having to individually mic each sound source or group. It’s also perfect for capturing the ambient essence of your environment and also for preventing the proximity effect when close-miking certain sources.

If you need more isolation, simply set the switch to the cardioid setting. This gives you more control over the AT4047MP’s directivity, resulting in much higher sensitivity to sounds directly in front of the mic’s element, whilst reducing the pickup of unwanted sounds to the side and rear. It’s also the perfect choice for controlling feedback in a variety of situations and providing excellent isolation between performers.

And finally, the figure-of-eight pattern. This lets you capture sound from both the front and rear of your mic simultaneously whilst offering excellent rejection of sound from the sides. It’s an excellent choice for using with advanced stereo miking techniques, as well as adding extra character to close-miked sound sources.

And it doesn’t stop there. On top of switchable polar patterns, the AT4047MP also provides you with a switchable 10dB pad for handling louder sound sources and a handy integral switchable high-pass filter. The HPF switch can be set to flat (HPF disabled), or you can engage it to roll off frequencies below 80Hz (with a 12dB/octave slope), allowing you to eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble, structure-borne noise, and to compensate for the proximity effect when close-miking. It’s ideal for reducing the sensitivity to popping with close vocal use, room reverberation, and more.
