Description

The AT4047/SV brings back the rich, rounded character of classic F.E.T. studio microphones without relying on outdated technology to get there. A transformer-coupled output paired with a specially-tuned element gives it that vintage sonic signature, while its dual-diaphragm capsule keeps the cardioid polar pattern consistent across the entire frequency range — no drift, no surprises as frequencies shift.

Under the hood, a precision-machined, nickel-plated brass acoustic element baffle keeps the capsule stable and sensitive, and the symmetrical housing is designed with an open acoustical layout to cut down on internal reflections that muddy up recordings. Surface-mount electronics keep every unit consistent with Audio-Technica’s build standards, so what you hear in the room is what you get on tape.

Practically speaking, this mic handles a wide dynamic range with very low self-noise and comfortably takes high SPL sources, which makes it flexible enough for vocals, acoustic guitar, strings, small ensembles, vocal groups, and voiceover work alike. A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad give you quick control over rumble and hot sources right at the mic.

Part of Audio-Technica’s respected 40 Series, the AT4047/SV ships with a custom shock mount built to isolate the capsule from handling noise and stand vibration — a solid, no-fuss choice for a home or project studio’s main vocal or instrument mic.
