Audio-Technica AT4033/CL Cardioid Condensor
Microphone
“The AT4033 has been a favorite of mine for the last 10 years, and
I look forward to the next decade together.” Phil Ramone,
Multi Grammy-winning producer
Since its introduction over a decade ago, the Audio-Technica AT4033 has been
embraced by audio professionals enamored with the strong up-front presence that
characterizes the sonic signature of this versatile pro-audio classic. The AT4033/CL’s
low-noise circuitry is symmetrical and transformerless, resulting in exceptional
transient response and clean output signals, even under high-output conditions.
A specially contoured, vapor-deposited gold diaphragm provides accurate reproduction
of even the most subtle sounds, especially at high-frequency signals not easily
reproduced by conventional large-diaphragm microphones.
The symmetrical housing assembly surrounding the microphone capsule creates
an open acoustical environment ideally suited for studio work in which natural
reproduction of off-axis sound is of paramount importance. From vocals to drum
overheads, from woodwind sections to guitar cabinets and on-air announcing,
the Audio-Technica AT4033/CL is a microphone of many talents – as useful
on stage and in a broadcast facility as it is in the recording studio.
