Sennheiser Condenser Microphones

Shotgun Microphones

AT4071a
Line + Gradient Condenser Microphone

With directivity equal to mics up to 50% longer, the AT4071a has been specially created to meet the critical long-distance pickup demands of broadcasting, film/TV sound, professional recording, wildlife recording and theater sound reinforcement. It is particularly useful for miking dynamic action in film/TV audio as well as in “spot” miking techniques in the music studio or theater. The mic provides extremely high output and a noise floor that is hardly measurable, much less audible. It may be used with confidence in distant miking applications and even under the stringent demands of modern digital recording systems. Audio-Technica has pioneered a unique interference tube design in the AT4071a and AT4073a shotgun mics that provides the same directivity as mics up to 50 percent longer.

Designed for critical long-distance pickup in broadcasting, film/TV production, and theater sound reinforcement applications
Direct-coupled, balanced output ensures a clean signal even in high-output conditions
Exclusive acoustic design* provides same directivity as mics up to 50% longer
Switchable 150 Hz hi-pass filter

AT4073a
Line + Gradient Condenser Microphone

The AT4073a sets new standards in small size and light weight. With an overall length of just 9.13” and weight of just 4.0 oz, the mic adds virtually no heft to the end of a fish pole or the top of a minicam. Through the use of an advanced, propriety Audio-Technica design, the interference tube of the AT4073a provides a narrow acceptance angle that would require a tube 50 percent longer using conventional technology. Audio-Technica has pioneered a unique interference tube design* in the AT4071a and AT4073a shotgun mics that provides the same directivity as mics up to 50 percent longer.

BP4027
Stereo Shotgun Microphone

Based on models originally developed for use in the broadcast of the Sydney Olympics in 2000, the BP4027 (14.96" long) and BP4029 (9.29" long) Stereo Shotgun models are engineered for high-end broadcast and production use. Both microphones feature independent line-cardioid and figure-of-eight elements configured in an MS (Mid-Side) arrangement with switch-selectable internal matrixing. These innovative microphones allow sound recordists the choice of selecting a left-right stereo output (wide or narrow) via the microphone’s internal matrixing system or choosing discreet Mid-Side signals for later manipulation, a flexibility not available from any other manufacturer.

A switchable low frequency roll-off filter helps minimize the pickup of unwanted low frequency noise. These phantom-powered models feature a rugged lightweight design and sleek black color scheme, perfect for on-camera use.
