Product Details

Product Features

The Audio-Technica AT4060a is a large-diaphragm, side-address cardioid tube condenser microphone for demanding studio work. It uses hand-selected tubes that are individually aged and tested, a regulated and heavily filtered heater supply, and a large coupling transformer for low-frequency linearity.

Its dual-diaphragm capsule uses gold diaphragms that go through a five-step aging process. The microphone is powered by the included AT8560a tube microphone powering unit, which provides the XLR output, and a custom AT8447 shock mount is included.

Key Features:

  • Vacuum tube design with hand-selected, aged and tested tubes
  • Dual-diaphragm capsule with gold diaphragms
  • Transformer-coupled output for low-frequency linearity
  • Handles 150 dB SPL with 131 dB dynamic range
  • AT8560a powering unit (100–240V AC) with rack-mount adapters
  • 7.6 m 6-pin cable between microphone and powering unit
  • AT8447 shock mount included
