Product Overview

The BP4073 condenser short shotgun microphone adds virtually no heft to the end of a fish pole or the top of a minicam, thanks to a weight of only 3.5 ounces and an overall length of only 9.17". Featuring an innovative Audio-Technica design, created after intensive field research as well as attentiveness to user feedback, the mic's interference tube provides a narrow acceptance angle, effective for long-distance pickup. Highly directional, it has low self-noise and extremely focused sound recording, ideal for creating a high-quality audio sound recording in the field. Additionally, it's fully RoHS compliant — free from all specified substances in the EU directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS).
