Description

Audio-Technica AT8033 Cardioid Condenser Speech Microphone is an all-purpose condenser microphone designed for handheld interviews, speech, vocals, and general audio acquisition. This cardioid condenser microphone delivers clear, natural sound reproduction, making it suitable for studio recording, stage performance, broadcast, and live sound applications.

The AT8033 speech microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern that reduces sound from the sides and rear, helping isolate the desired sound source. With high SPL capability and wide frequency response, it handles loud sources while maintaining excellent clarity and linearity both on-axis and off-axis.

Designed for flexibility, this condenser microphone operates on either internal battery power or phantom power, making it suitable for portable recorders, cameras, mixers, and professional audio systems. Its robust construction and versatile performance make the Audio-Technica AT8033 ideal for interviews, acoustic instruments, percussion, overhead use, vocals, and general-purpose recording.

RoHS compliant construction ensures the microphone is free from hazardous substances specified in EU directives, making it suitable for professional and institutional use.
