Description
Audio-Technica BP4027 Stereo Shotgun Microphone is a professional condenser microphone designed for broadcast, film, video production, and location sound recording. This stereo shotgun microphone uses independent line-cardioid and figure-of-eight elements arranged in a Mid-Side (M-S) configuration, delivering precise stereo imaging with excellent off-axis noise rejection for capturing distant sound sources.
The BP4027 offers flexible recording options, allowing users to select between discrete M-S output for post-production control or internally matrixed left/right stereo modes with wide or narrow pickup angles. This makes the microphone suitable for a wide range of applications including on-camera recording, boom operation, and ambient sound capture.
Built for professional use, the microphone features a switchable low-frequency roll-off to reduce unwanted low-frequency noise and wind rumble. Phantom-powered operation ensures compatibility with professional audio equipment, while the rugged yet lightweight aluminum construction is designed to withstand demanding field conditions.
With its extended length for enhanced directionality and compact weight for boom or camera mounting, the Audio-Technica BP4027 is ideal for broadcasters, videographers, and sound recordists requiring accurate stereo capture with strong rejection of unwanted noise.
