Description

Audio-Technica BP4071 Shotgun Microphone is a professional condenser microphone designed for broadcasting, film and television production, wildlife recording, and theater sound reinforcement. This highly directional shotgun microphone delivers focused long-distance pickup with excellent rejection of off-axis noise, making it ideal for capturing clear audio in demanding environments.

At 15.55 inches long, the BP4071 uses an advanced interference tube design that provides directivity comparable to microphones up to 50% longer, allowing precise sound capture without excessive size. Its direct-coupled, balanced output ensures a clean signal even in high-output conditions, while the transformerless design improves transient response for detailed audio reproduction.

Built for professional field use, the microphone features a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency noise and a 10 dB pad for handling loud sound sources. The rugged housing is constructed from lightweight structural-grade aluminum alloy for durability without added weight.

Phantom-powered operation ensures compatibility with professional mixers, recorders, and broadcast equipment. With its low noise floor and strong directional performance, the Audio-Technica BP4071 is well suited for boom operation, on-location recording, and studio spot miking applications.
