Audio-Technica AT4060a

The Audio-Technica AT4060a is a cardioid tube condenser microphone. Bring a vintage tube character to studio vocals and instruments with dedicated powering and mounting accessories. Core features include Cardioid pickup, Tube circuitry and Dual-diaphragm capsule.

The directional pickup pattern concentrates on the sound in front of the capsule and reduces pickup from the sides and rear. This helps establish a focused recording of a voice or instrument, especially when microphone position is used carefully. The result is a flexible starting point for capturing a performance with useful separation from its surroundings.

The condenser design is suited to capturing fine changes in articulation, attack and decay. It can reveal the detail of a vocal line, a picked string or another acoustic source, with placement used to balance proximity and room ambience. Its powering requirements and connection format are listed below so it can be matched to the recording system.

The supplied or integrated isolation and wind-protection features contribute to a cleaner capture by managing vibration or air movement at the microphone. They complement careful positioning and sensible gain setting, helping the microphone fit into a repeatable recording or live-audio arrangement.
