Description
Audio-Technica AT4047/SV is a professional cardioid condenser microphone engineered for critical studio, live sound, and broadcast applications. Designed with a transformer-coupled output and specially tuned element, the AT4047/SV delivers a warm, musical character reminiscent of classic early F.E.T. studio microphone designs while maintaining modern accuracy and reliability.
The microphone features a dual-diaphragm capsule that maintains precise polar pattern consistency across the entire frequency range, ensuring accurate sound capture with minimal coloration. Its exceptionally low self-noise, wide dynamic range, and high SPL handling make it suitable for a wide variety of sources—from delicate vocals to powerful instruments.
A precision-machined, nickel-plated brass acoustic baffle enhances element stability and sensitivity, while the open, symmetrical housing design minimizes unwanted internal reflections for a cleaner, more natural sound. The AT4047/SV also incorporates advanced surface-mount electronics to meet Audio-Technica’s strict standards for consistency and reliability.
For flexible operation in demanding environments, the microphone includes a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter to reduce low-frequency rumble and a 10 dB pad to accommodate louder sound sources. Finished in a distinctive vintage silver matte coating, the AT4047/SV comes with a custom AT8449aSV shock mount that provides superior isolation and a protective carrying case for secure transport.
