BP4025 X/Y Stereo Field Recording Microphone

Designed for broadcast and professional recording, Audio-Technica’s BP4025 stereo condenser offers large-diaphragm capsules in an innovative coincident capsule configuration. This allows for a smaller housing while producing an X/Y stereo image with the spatial impact and realism of a live sound field. Ideal for use with professional audio and video equipment, the microphone is fully RoHS-compliant — free from all substances specified in the EU directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS).

•Large-diaphragm capsules offer pristine sound quality and exceptionally low noise

•Innovative coincident capsule configuration produces accurate stereo image in smaller housing

•Compact, lightweight design is ideal for camera-mount use

•Excellent channel separation

•Phantom power operation—for use with professional equipment

•Switchable low-frequency roll-off and 10 dB pad

•Includes one balanced cable (two 3-pin XLRM-type connectors at output)
