Overview

AT4049a

The AT4049a has been discontinued. The AT4049b is a similar model, click here for more information. Recommended for professional recording and critical applications in broadcast, this 40 Series omnidirectional condenser microphone consists of the AT4900a-48 body with the AT4049a-EL omnidirectional element. This versatile studio performer may be used with confidence in a wide variety of professional miking applications, even under the stringent demands of modern digital recording systems. Featuring direct-coupled balanced outputs for clean signals in high-output conditions, the microphone is totally free of the distortion associated with conventional transformer-coupled outputs. And its fast response to transients contributes to the open, transparent reproduction of even the most difficult-to-capture instruments.
