Audio-Technica AT4053B

The AT4053b is a modular hypercardioid condenser whose tight pattern makes it a precise choice for film, broadcast, and demanding studio miking. The narrow acceptance angle isolates dialogue or a single instrument while rejecting off-axis sound and room reflections. Direct-coupled, balanced output keeps the signal clean and transparent over long cable runs.

It pairs the AT4900b-48 body with an interchangeable hypercardioid head capsule, and the same body accepts cardioid and omnidirectional capsules. Covering 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, it runs on 48V phantom power over a 3-pin XLR output. That combination of precision and modularity makes it a versatile tool for production sound and installed systems.
