Audio-Technica BP4071 15.55" Line + Gradient Condenser Shotgun Microphone

Specially-engineered to meet the capture demands of audio professionals worldwide, the BP4071 features an interference tube design pioneered by Audio-Technica which delivers directivity that matches mics that are up to 50% longer. It's particularly suitable for long-distance sound recording in filmmaking or in theatre, as well as in "spot" miking techniques in the music studio or theater as well. It offers a low noise level and a balanced, direct-coupled output resulting in a clean and clear signal, even in high-output conditions.
