AT3031 Cardioid Condenser Microphone (DISCONTINUED)

The studio-quality AT3031, a low-profile cardioid condenser microphone from Audio-Technica’s renowned 30 Series, is known for a flat, extended frequency response, high maximum SPL and wide dynamic range. Its low self-noise (16 dB SPL) is perfectly suited for the most sophisticated recording equipment. Its low-mass diaphragm improves transient response, increases response bandwidth and reduces handling and mechanical noise transfer.

Outstanding performance and versatility

High max SPL and wide dynamic range

Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source

Low self-noise (16 dB SPL) – perfectly suited for today's most sophisticated digital recording equipment

Flat, extended frequency response

Lo-cut switch (80 Hz, 12 dB/octave) and 10 dB pad
