Large condenser microphone capsule, requiring 48 V phantom power. Its frequency response ranges from 20 to 18 kHz. Its cardioid directivity type, and supports a maximum sound pressure level of 149 dB SPL.
As the level of noise equivalent is 9 dB SPL (A weighted), I take it without much difficulty that its dynamic range exceeds 140 dB.
Two switches are used to activate the one hand the attenuator "-10 dB" on the one hand the high-pass filter cutoff frequency of 80 Hz with a slope of 12 dB / octave.
OVERALL OPINION
I used the AT4047 / SV in many situations all over Vachard each other, and gave the results may simply fantastic, especially on voices, though, like all high-end sensors, it is more at ease with some other singers. This microphone is perfectly at ease as the lead voice on the chorus. On several recordings I spent leveling, and I have used a minimum of compression. I think because it's a bit of a "tic" to want even permanently. I prefer to get from taking a full and rich. However, I sometimes (usually on female voices) to add 2 or 3 dB between 8 and 14 kHz. And I tried this with 4047, and even more by increasing the frequency, the sound never became aggressive or metal.
One day I had to record a string trio. Guess what I carried microphones? Yes, I tried a couple of 4047/SV! I usually confine myself to the Neumann U67, but Audio-Technica have performed very well. I also had the opportunity to use 4047/SV in proximity of a cello and a violin, excellent results in both cases, the whole body and the warmth of instrumental sounds were immaculately restored, with no screaming or nasal side .
Same verdict on guitars, acoustic and electric percussion, piano, drum overheads ..
Good to know: the 4047 is able to collect, pad engaged, up to 159 dB SPL without audible overload. An almost unbelievable number when you have acquired a taste for its accuracy and sensitivity, which can lose nothing of little subtleties or the micro-details of a melody played on the violin or the grain of a voice.
I can not find a single flaw on this microphone, and it is purely mechanical suspension is quite cumbersome to remove and replace. Oh yes audio-technica predicted greater storage box, to accommodate the microphone with his suspension .. This may seem anecdotal, see the quibble, but mobile use this remark makes sense.
In short, is a microphone sensor is almost universal, including natural and warm sound lacks aggression in the high shown by the current number of microphones. Now for me, using a Neumann U 67 is more or less automatic in a sound recording of acoustic instruments ..
