Audio-Technica AT4080 - Phantom-Powered Bidirectional Ribbon Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT4080 is a large, side-address bidirectional (figure-of-eight) ribbon microphone that picks up sound equally from front and back. It delivers the warm, detailed character of a ribbon with active electronics that bring its output close to condenser-microphone level.

A proprietary ribbon imprint resists distortion and damage, and a dual-ribbon construction raises sensitivity. It handles up to 150 dB SPL, runs on 48V phantom power and ships with an AT8449a/SV shock mount.

Key Features:

• Figure-of-eight ribbon element, side-address
• Active electronics for near-condenser output level
• Dual-ribbon construction for higher sensitivity
• Proprietary ribbon imprint resists distortion and damage
• Handles 150 dB SPL
• AT8449a/SV shock mount included
• Integral 3-pin XLRM-type output; requires 48V phantom power
