Overview

AT3060

A price/performance first in tube microphone technology, AT3060 side-address tube mic delivers warm, classic tube sound. Operating on 48V phantom power, it offers the convenience and easy setup of a studio condenser. The microphone contains a large diaphragm cardioid capsule, large coupling transformer, and a hand-selected, individually tested and aged tube. Its shock-mounted tube assembly dampens mechanically coupled vibrations.
