help Audio-Technica AT4047/SV FAQ
What kind of voice suits the Audio-Technica AT4047/SV?
The AT4047/SV is often chosen when a singer wants a smooth, transformer-coupled condenser sound rather than an aggressively bright modern vocal. Its fixed cardioid pattern favors sound arriving from the front and reduces pickup from the rear.
Does the AT4047/SV require phantom power?
Yes. It is an externally polarized condenser microphone and requires 48 V phantom power from a preamp, audio interface or mixing console.
Can the AT4047/SV record loud guitar cabinets or drums?
Yes. Audio-Technica rates it for a maximum sound-pressure level of 140 dB, rising to 149 dB when its 10 dB pad is engaged, so it can handle many loud studio sources with careful placement.
What does the AT4047/SV's low-cut switch do?
Its 80 Hz high-pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble, stand vibration and proximity buildup. The switch is useful for close vocals, although engineers may leave it off when they want the full low end for later processing.
