Audio-Technica AT8033 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, Battery or Phantom Powered

Featuring high-SPL (sound pressure level) capability and wide frequency response, Audio-Technica's AT8033 works great for general audio acquisition such as interviews, acoustic guitar, percussion, overheads, vocals and more. Its cardioid polar pattern offers reduced pickup of sounds from the rear and sides of the mic, thus enhancing isolation of targeted sound source. It excels in both studio and stage applications, and conveniently operates on either battery or phantom power.
