  • Overview


    The rich, warm sound takes you back to the classic F.E.T. studio microphones. But there’s nothing remotely old-fashioned about the technology behind that vintage sound. The AT4047/SV studio condenser’s dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range. With a wide dynamic range, incredibly low self-noise and high SPL capability, this versatile microphone excels on vocals, strings, acoustic guitar, instrument ensembles, small vocal groups and voiceovers.

    AT4047/SV. It’s another in a venerable line of studio artists’ dreams come true: the 40 Series, from Audio-Technica.

        • Q:

          Hello,
          Actually, I need to get informed about this abbreviation "SV". For instance, AT 4047 SV.
          What does SV mean? also "CL" like AT4033 CL?

          Regards.

            jhall,
            Thank you for asking this question, it made me look at everyday objects to size the loops (see instructions) for re-stringing the bungie cord.

            A small pill bottle of 1-1/8", (27mm) fits neatly, just snug enough to stay put without stretching the cord.

            With 4 evenly sized objects just snugged in the lobes of the weave, you will have a perfectly sized, new suspension web for your mount.

            I would also like to thank AT for the great pictorial.

            Nice job!

            John

          • A:

            I'm not aware of an AT4047, only the AT4047/SV. The SV stands for "Silver" since the microphone is silver in color.
