The new studio microphones in the 20 and 40 Series comprise the affordable AT2035 and AT2050 large diaphragm condensers and the high-performing AT4021 cardioid and AT4022 omnidirectional condensers.
The 20 Series are both side-address models, with the cardioid AT2035 designed to isolate sound sources while the switchable pickup pattern of the AT2050 allows omni, cardioid and figure-of-eight operation. The 40 Series microphones - which carry a lifetime warranty - are ideally suited to deliver sensitivity and natural response, and are perfect for use with acoustic string and percussion instruments.
In the Broadcast & Production range the new models are the BP4071 (also available in a longer version as the BP4071L) and BP4073 line+gradient microphones. Designed for focussed pickup for broadcast, film and theatre applications, the innovative design of the new B&P models results in levels of directivity that compete with those of microphones up to 50% longer, says the company.
Audio-Technica's new ATH-M35 monitor headphones are designed for field recording, broadcast and live sound use, the headphones are designed for long service and exemplary performance. Key features include a foldable design for easy storage and a rugged storage pouch, enhancing the headphones' durability and lifespan.
