Three Switchable Polar Patterns: The AT4047MP offers three selectable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-of-eight. This versatility allows users to adapt the microphone to different recording environments and sources, providing optimal sound capture whether the focus is on a single source or multiple instruments.

Transformer-Coupled Output: The microphone’s transformer-coupled output emulates the sound characteristics of early F.E.T. studio microphones. This design choice enhances the microphone’s ability to handle high sound pressure levels while preserving audio quality.

Dual-Diaphragm Capsule Design: Equipped with a dual-diaphragm capsule, the AT4047MP maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range. This design ensures consistent performance and accurate sound reproduction, making it ideal for a variety of recording applications.

Precision-Machined Brass Baffle: The acoustic element baffle is precision-machined from nickel-plated brass. This construction improves element stability and sensitivity, contributing to the microphone’s overall clarity and detail.

Low Self-Noise and Wide Dynamic Range: With exceptionally low self-noise and a wide dynamic range, the AT4047MP excels in capturing quiet details as well as loud sounds. This feature makes it suitable for both delicate vocal performances and powerful instrument recordings.

High SPL Capability: The microphone can handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) of up to 155 dB SPL with the 10 dB pad engaged. This capability ensures reliable performance even in high-volume recording situations.

Custom Shock Mount: Included with the AT4047MP is a custom shock mount that provides superior isolation. This accessory minimizes vibrations and handling noise, ensuring a clean and uninterrupted audio signal.

Vintage Silver-Matte Finish: The microphone and shock mount feature a vintage silver-matte finish, combining aesthetic appeal with a robust design. The finish also helps reduce reflections and maintain the microphone’s durability.

Integral High-Pass Filter and Pad Switch: The AT4047MP includes an 80 Hz high-pass filter switch and a 10 dB pad switch. The high-pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble, while the pad switch allows the microphone to handle louder sources without distortion.

Certified by METAlliance: This microphone is certified by the Music Engineering and Technology Alliance (METAlliance), ensuring it meets high industry standards for performance and reliability.
