The Audio‑Technica AT4047/SV is a high‑end large‑diaphragm condenser microphone designed for professional studio recording, broadcast, and critical sound‑reinforcement applications. Its precisely engineered externally‑polarized DC condenser capsule, combined with transformer‑coupled output and carefully tuned electronics, delivers a warm, rich sonic character — reminiscent of classic FET‑based studio microphones — while preserving clarity, detail, and dynamic range.
Thanks to a low‑self‑noise design (9 dB SPL) and dual-diaphragm construction that maintains consistent cardioid pattern stability across the full frequency range, the AT4047/SV excels at capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, strings, woodwinds, and other dynamic sources with precision.
For practical recording use, the microphone includes a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter to reduce low‑frequency rumble, and a –10 dB pad to accommodate high‑SPL sources. Its rugged metal body, precision-machined acoustic baffle, and included shockmount (plus dust cover and protective case) make it durable and road-ready for studio or live environments.
