AT4053B Shotgun Mic Condenser Line+Gradient 155mm Length

The Audio-Technica AT4053B is a precision hypercardioid condenser microphone employing a line gradient acoustic design, delivering outstanding off-axis rejection in a remarkably compact 155mm form factor. Engineered for demanding professional applications, this microphone excels in broadcast, film production, house of worship installations, and live theatre environments where precise pickup and ambient noise control are critical.

Built around a transformerless output stage, the AT4053B provides exceptional transient response, low self-noise, and wide dynamic range — ensuring transparent, detailed audio capture across the full 20Hz–20kHz frequency spectrum. Its tight polar pattern effectively isolates the desired sound source while minimising bleed from surrounding sources, making it an ideal choice for podium, overhead, and spot-miking applications.
