All user reviews for the Audio-Technica AT4081

bidirectional active ribbon microphone,

ie pre-amplified and requiring therefore a 48V,
that is also safe, avoiding errors that manip with Phatom on passive ribbons!
it is superb, discreet and very heavy, we feel that this is a working microphone and upscale.

in fact, the microphone be considerable work in audio technica, 18 deposits patent on the mic and an incredible result!

until now, I was a fan of absolute royer R122, but then for 40% of the royer is just amazing, it has become my preferred sensor,

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for the month of June or audio technica lends me a couple of demo
I test first on a live piano full tail with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Strasbourg. and then slap a level before hanging his amazing and a superb natural.
I referrals from Audio Technica and hasten to order a couple new, today, an acoustic guitar, the drum OH, cello at the resumption of guitar amp, I love them!
I'll certainly take in 2 or 4 others, the bass is just incredibly precise and clear than the royer and the rest of the spectrum and right flexible, it is a wonder, one of the most successful in terms microphone.
I really want to make an album with the AT 4081 ....

go for it, the price is dérisoir compared to the qualities of microphones
TA 4081 will be a standard of at least at royer
