Exceptional Sound Quality: The Audio-Technica AT2031 boasts a permanently polarized condenser element that provides an extended frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This feature enhances high-frequency detail, making it perfect for capturing the subtle nuances of stringed instruments like violins, cellos, and acoustic guitars. The microphone’s cardioid polar pattern isolates the sound source effectively, minimizing background noise for a cleaner audio signal.

Low Self-Noise and High SPL Handling: With a low self-noise level of 17 dB SPL and a maximum input sound level of 141 dB SPL, the AT2031 is well-suited for demanding applications. It captures loud sound sources without distortion, making it ideal for both live performances and studio recordings. This wide dynamic range ensures that even the softest notes are accurately reproduced.

Versatile Connectivity and Use: The microphone requires 48V DC phantom power, making it compatible with most professional audio interfaces and mixing consoles. Its integral 3-pin XLRM-type output connector ensures reliable connectivity, allowing for easy integration into any audio setup. Additionally, the AT2031 performs exceptionally well in stereo pair configurations, making it a versatile choice for various recording techniques.

Durable and User-Friendly Design: Constructed from sturdy steel, the AT2031 is built to withstand the rigors of professional use. Its compact size of 134 mm allows for discreet placement while still delivering robust performance. The microphone includes a switchable 150 Hz, 6 dB/octave high-pass filter, which effectively manages low-frequency noise while preserving the warmth of the audio.

Accessories Included: The AT2031 comes with essential accessories, including the AT8405a stand clamp, a windscreen, and a soft protective pouch. These additions enhance usability and protect the microphone during storage and transport, making it a complete solution for musicians and audio professionals alike.
