The Audio-Technica AT4021 is a small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone engineered for critical studio and live applications. Its low-mass diaphragm provides excellent transient response and extended bandwidth while reducing handling and mechanical noise transfer. With a flat, extended frequency response, high maximum SPL, wide dynamic range and exceptionally low self-noise, the AT4021 excels on acoustic instruments and percussion. Equipped with a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad.
