Audio-Technica BP4071

The BP4071 utilizes an advanced interference tube design that allows it to maintain the same level of directivity as shotgun microphones that are 50% longer. This makes it an excellent choice for tight miking situations in film and TV where space is limited but high-quality audio capture is essential.

Yes, the BP4071 is a condenser microphone that requires 48V DC phantom power to function. It is designed to be powered directly by your professional mixer, recorder, or camera interface.

The 80 Hz high-pass filter is designed to help you clean up your audio by rolling off low-frequency rumble, such as wind noise, traffic, or handling vibrations. It is a useful tool for getting a cleaner, more focused signal before the audio even hits your recorder.

Absolutely. The BP4071 features a switchable 10 dB pad that increases the maximum SPL handling from 141 dB to 151 dB. This allows you to capture loud sound sources without worrying about clipping or distortion.

While the microphone is built with a rugged, lightweight aluminum alloy housing, it is a sensitive condenser mic. Like any shotgun microphone, you will need to pair it with appropriate wind protection, such as a blimp or foam windscreen, if you plan to use it outdoors.
