From home studio to live applications, the AT2021 Cardioid Condenser Microphone from Audio-Technica features a low-profile design that makes it ideal for use with acoustic guitars, overheads, and piano. It features an extended frequency response of 30-20,000 Hz for smooth, natural sonic characteristics. It also boasts efficient handling, able to withstand a high sound pressure level of maximum 145 dB (1 kHz at 1% THD), and a wide dynamic range of 126 dB, (1 kHz at Max SPL).
Ruggedly constructed, the AT2021 is built for long-lasting, reliable performance at home or on the road. It sports corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type connectors. Additionally, its low-mass element delivers an excellent transient response, while its cardioid polar pattern allows you to capture isolated sound while minimizing background noise to its sides and rear. Also included in the box with the AT2021 is a stand clamp, as well as an S1 protective pouch for safe storage and transportation.
