The Audio-Technica BP4073 Line + Gradient Capacitor Mic is a condenser shotgun mic that produces broadcast-quality sound suited for documentary projects, podcasts, Theatres, TV shooting, etc. At just 99 g and 232.39 mm, this lightweight mic comfortably picks up audio from long distances and offers coherent sound even at higher volume ranges. The interference tube of this line microphone cancels sounds coming from the sides while the gradient or directional element of the mic cancels sound from the rear as well. Thus, it offers a clean signal across various frequencies. The mic features high sensitivity and switchable 80 Hz low-cut filter that help produce distortion-free sound, even when it comes from an intensely loud sound source. Featuring a compact housing made of rugged aluminium alloy, the mic is durable and lightweight and doesn't burden your boom pole or camera.
