Audio Technica At2031 Condenser Microphone

The AT2031 is the ideal microphone for string instruments in critical studio and live applications. Its permanently polarised element provides an extended frequency response with a slight increase in the high-frequency range for a more detailed sound. Its low self-noise and high SPL handling capability offer a wide dynamic range, perfect for demanding applications. For professional recording studios, it is a perfect auxiliary microphone for a drum kit or for close-miking orchestral ensembles. For live recordings, its robust construction and affordable price make it the perfect companion for recording percussion, acoustic guitar, hi-hats, overheads and piano.

The cardioid polar pattern improves the isolation of the desired sound source.

Low self-noise is perfect for digital recording equipment.
