- See full product description
The AT4060a is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser tube microphone that has been designed for use in the most demanding studio applications.
Each tube has been hand-selected and individually aged and tested. They are then placed within a uniquely configured circuit for enhanced tube performance. The dynamic range is enhanced thanks to the specially tuned elements and allows the AT4060A to withstand high SPLs (up to 150dB) without eliminating any high-frequency characteristics. Isolation from noise and vibration is down to the floating-construction mounting of the elements. Included with the microphone is its own power supply unit, rack mount kit, shock mount and 10m cable.
- Patented "Double Wave" Dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range of the microphone
- Precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity
- Large coupling transformer provides superior low-frequency linearity
- Vintage tube sound with the versatile performance necessary for the most demanding studio applications
- Hand-selected tubes are individually tested and aged to maintain peak performance
- Regulated and heavily filtered heater current prevents noise contamination of audio signal chain
- Wide dynamic range, low self-noise and high max SPL capability
- The 2-micron-thick, vapor-deposited gold diaphragms undergo a five-step aging process so that the optimum characteristics achieved remain constant over years of use
