The Audio Technica BP 4029 Stereo Shotgun microphone 236mm long with three way switch (low-cut, MS wide, MS narrow). Perfect for for broadcasters, videographers and sound recordists
The Audio Technica BP 4029 Stereo Shotgun Microphone was originally developed for use in the broadcast of the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and engineered for high-end broadcast and production use. The BP4029 features independent line-cardioid and figure-of-eight elements configured in an MS (Mid-Side) arrangement with switch-selectable internal matrixing. The innovative BP4029 microphone allows sound recordists the choice of selecting a left-right stereo output (wide or narrow) via the microphone’s internal matrixing system or choosing discreet Mid-Side signals for later manipulation, a flexibility not available from any other manufacturer. A switchable low frequency roll-off filter helps minimize the pickup of unwanted low frequency noise. These phantom-powered models feature a rugged lightweight design and sleek black color scheme, perfect for on-camera use.
