Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The side-address AT4033a offers low-noise, symmetrical, transformerless circuitry that results in exceptional transient response and clean output signals.
The legend, The revolution
The AT4033 cardioid condenser microphone has been considered an essential product in most professional recording studios since 1991, when it became the first high-quality studio microphone released for under $1000, at a time when most competing products were retailing for around $2000. The internal electronics of the original version have been somewhat modified with the arrival of the AT4033a, as has the capsule suspension system, in order to maximise the reduction of any adjustment noises or vibrations. With its low noise (17dB SPL), high sensitivity and high tolerance to high sound pressure levels (up to 155dB with the 10dB pad), the AT4033a has an excellent quality / price / performance ratio that remains competitive to this day.
transformerless circuitry
Transformerless circuitry virtually elimiates low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients.
manufactured for quality
The AT4033a's diaphragm is protected by a two-layer grille and a thin acoustic foam.
AT8449a shock mount
Custom shock mount provides superior isolation against unwanted noise and vibration
2 MICRON thick DIAPHRAGM
The 2-micron-thick, vapor-deposited gold diaphragm undergoes a five-step aging process so that the optimum characteristics achieved remain constant over years of use
