Description
Audio-Technica BP4029 Stereo Shotgun Microphone is a professional condenser microphone designed for broadcast, film, video production, and location sound recording. This compact stereo shotgun microphone combines a line-cardioid element and a figure-of-eight element in a Mid-Side (M-S) configuration, allowing precise stereo capture while maintaining strong directionality.
The BP4029 stereo microphone offers flexible output options, including non-matrixed M-S mode for post-production control and internally matrixed left/right stereo modes (wide or narrow) for direct recording. Its compact, lightweight design makes it ideal for on-camera mounting, boom operation, and field production use.
Engineered for professional environments, the microphone features a switchable low-frequency roll-off to reduce unwanted rumble and handling noise. Phantom-powered operation ensures compatibility with professional mixers, recorders, and broadcast equipment.
Based on models originally developed for major broadcast events, the Audio-Technica BP4029 delivers reliable performance, high-quality stereo imaging, and flexible recording options in a rugged, lightweight housing suitable for demanding production workflows.
