Audio-Technica AT8010 Onmi Microphone Batt/Phant

The Audio-Technica AT8010 is a versatile microphone suitable for use in a variety of audio recording scenarios, such as during interviews, chorus performances, and a set-up featuring stringed instruments. Its extended frequency response is great for both on and off axes that allows you to capture either sharp and focused sounds or bass-rich and low tones with stunning clarity. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures a 360-degree sound pickup that makes the sound more natural and realistic as it does not focus on one particular sound source. Further, the low sensitivity of this microphone ensures there is no popping noise present in the recordings, which also enables sound acquisition at higher volumes. It has a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter that effectively diminishes unwanted low-frequency sounds like background noises and wind making it a great pick for studio and on the move audio recording.
