Audio-Technica BP 4027 Stereo Shotgun Condenser Microphone

Audio-Technica BP 4027 Stereo Shotgun Condenser Microphone Overview: Based on models originally developed for use in the broadcast of the Sydney Games in 2000, the BP4027 (14.96" long) Stereo Shotgun model is engineered for high-end broadcast and production use This mcrophone features independent line-cardioid and figure-of-eight elements configured in an MS (Mid-Side) arrangement with switch-selectable internal matrixing.

This innovative microphone allow sound recordists the choice of selecting a left-right stereo output (wide or narrow) via the microphone’s internal matrixing system or choosing discrete 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.
