The Audio-Technica AT2031 is a compact, high-performance condenser microphone designed for detailed and accurate sound capture. Ideal for studio recording, live sound reinforcement, and instrument miking, it excels with acoustic guitars, strings, woodwinds, percussion, and other acoustic instruments. Its low-mass diaphragm ensures a refined high-frequency response with exceptional clarity and realism.
Featuring a cardioid pickup pattern, the AT2031 focuses on the intended sound source while minimizing ambient noise and stage bleed. The microphone includes a switchable 150 Hz high-pass filter to reduce low-frequency rumble and a –10 dB pad for handling higher sound pressure levels, making it adaptable for a wide range of recording environments. Its lightweight, rugged housing ensures reliable performance for both studio and stage applications.
