Audio-Technica BP4073 Line + Gradient Capacitor Mic

The Audio-Technica BP4073 Line + Gradient Capacitor Mic is a condenser shotgun mic that produces broadcast-quality sound suited for documentary projects, podcasts, Theatres, TV shooting, etc. At just 99 g and 232.39 mm, this lightweight mic comfortably picks up audio from long distances and offers coherent sound even at higher volume ranges. The interference tube of this line microphone cancels sounds coming from the sides while the gradient or directional element of the mic cancels sound from the rear as well. Thus, it offers a clean signal across various frequencies. The mic features high sensitivity and switchable 80 Hz low-cut filter that help produce distortion-free sound, even when it comes from an intensely loud sound source. Featuring a compact housing made of rugged aluminium alloy, the mic is durable and lightweight and doesn’t burden your boom pole or camera.

Broadcast-Quality Sound

The BP4073 is designed to provide broadcast-quality sound. This is achieved by the super-cardioid polar pattern of the mic, the direct-coupled balanced output, and acoustic design that altogether reduce low-frequency sounds and help capture clean quality audio even from high-intensity sound source. The low self-noise and highly sensitive condenser elements produce clear audio minus all distortions or hissing sound emerging from other devices.

Noise Reduction with Windscreen

The BP4073 comes with a foam windscreen that blocks unwanted wind noise from fans, heaters, and air conditioners. You get an enhanced reduction of wind noise with an additional furry windshield such as the Saramonic TM-WS1. If you want the best wind reduction level in your BP4073, you can use Rycote Windshield Kit 4 that offers a complete windshield, windjammer, and shock-mount suspension system.

Suitable for Boom pole Mounting

With a mic clip, it is easier for users to mount BP4073 on a mic stand or boom pole. Alternatively, you can purchase the Audio-Technica AT8415 shockmount and place the BP4073 in it to block vibrations between your boom pole and the mic. Besides this, it comes with two rubber O-rings that increase the mic’s diameter to snugly fit into the larger mic holders found in various high-end cameras.
