The Audio-Technica BP4071 is a shotgun condenser mic specially created to meet the pickup demands of broadcasting, film/TV sound, professional recording, wildlife recording and theater sound reinforcement. The AT BP4071 is particularly useful for miking dynamic action in film or TV audio as well as in spot miking techniques in music studios or theaters. The 15.55"-long BP4071 mic provides a low noise floor and direct-coupled, balanced output for a clean signal even in high-output conditions. Audio-Technica has pioneered an interference tube design in the BP4071 microphone that provides the same directivity as mics up to 50 percent longer. Requires 48V DC phantom power.
