Delivering consistent upgrades in quality is what the folks at Audio-Technica are all about, and the AT4033A Dynamic Cable Professional Microphone certainly fits the bill. Boasting a specialized two-micron diaphragm and transformerless technology, the Audio-Technica dynamic microphone is able to take on sound levels in the 140+dB range and keep right on kicking. At the same time, the AT4033A features fast transient responses and includes low noise electronics that make it remarkably sensitive to quieter tones. Cardioid sound pickup patterns ensure that unwanted noises from the back and sides are ignored while sounds from the front are relayed in crystal clear fidelity. Durability is provided by an 80Hz high pass filter that routes frequencies to the preferred speakers while preventing potentially damaging overloads. This not only keeps your music at its best, but it will continue to do so for years.
