Audio-Technica AT4053B Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone

$1,154.00

This versatile studio performer may be used with confidence in a wide variety of professional miking applications. Featuring direct-coupled balanced outputs for clean signals in high-output conditions, the microphone is totally free of the distortion associated with conventional transformer-coupled outputs. And its fast response to transients contributes to the open, transparent reproduction of even the most difficult-to-capture instruments. The microphone is fully RoHS-compliant – free from all substances specified in the EU directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS). The AT4053b consists of two modular subassemblies: an AT4900b-48 body and an AT4053b-EL hypercardioid head capsule (both available separately). Additional interchangeable capsules are available in omnidirectional (AT4049b-EL) and cardioid (AT4051b-EL).

About the Audio-Technica AT4053B Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone

The AT4053B is engineered for professionals who demand precision across diverse studio and live recording scenarios. Its hypercardioid pattern isolates your source while rejecting unwanted ambient noise, making it ideal for vocals, instruments, and challenging acoustic environments. Direct-coupled balanced outputs deliver pristine audio without the coloration or distortion that transformer-coupled designs introduce.

This architecture shines in high-output situations where clarity matters most. Combined with exceptional transient response, the AT4053B captures every nuance—from delicate acoustic details to aggressive percussion—with remarkable transparency and definition. The modular construction gives you unmatched flexibility. Swap the AT4053b-EL hypercardioid capsule for omnidirectional (AT4049b-EL) or cardioid (AT4051b-EL) options using the same AT4900b-48 body. One microphone becomes three, adapting to your evolving creative needs without additional investment. Manufactured to RoHS standards, the AT4053B meets the highest environmental and safety specifications, ensuring a professional tool built to last.
