The Audio-Technica AT4900B-48 40 Series Microphone Handle is a modular microphone subassembly engineered for professional recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement. This versatile body serves as the core component for high-performance audio capture across diverse miking applications.
The AT4900B-48 utilizes direct-coupled balanced outputs to maintain signal purity during high-output conditions. This design eliminates the distortion typically found in conventional transformer-coupled outputs, resulting in a cleaner audio path. The hardware provides a fast response to transients, which facilitates the open and transparent reproduction of difficult-to-capture instruments.
The AT4900B-48 is a standalone microphone body that requires the installation of an interchangeable capsule for operation. It is specifically designed to work with the following compatible capsules:
This microphone handle includes built-in controls to optimize audio performance in various environments. A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter allows for the reduction of unwanted low-frequency noise. Additionally, an integrated 10 dB pad provides attenuation to manage high sound pressure levels effectively.
Audio-Technica employs state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques to ensure the AT4900B-48 meets stringent reliability standards. This focus on consistency ensures the handle meets the most critical acoustic requirements for professional audio users.
