The Audio-Technica AT4060 is a cardioid condenser tube microphone that brings
out the warmth of vintage tube sound. The AT4060 has a dynamic range that
far exceeds other tube microphones and as such easily captures even the most
subtle of nuances in vocal and instrumental performances. The AT4060 achieves
the coveted, classic sound of valve design without compromising standards
required in demanding recording situations and it does so thanks to the
hand-selected, individually tested and aged tubes.
The AT4060 Features
- Vintage tube sound with the versatile
performance necessary for the most demanding studio applications
