Audio-Technica AT4060a Kondenzatorski studijski mikrofon

Combining a vacuum tube circuit with a transformerless output, the AT4060a delivers the warmth and harmonic richness of classic tube microphones alongside the low noise floor and extended frequency response of modern condenser design. The externally biased twin-diaphragm capsule captures cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 polar patterns, covering a wide range of recording scenarios from intimate vocal sessions to full orchestral work.

Tube Warmth, Modern Noise Floor

At the heart of the AT4060a is a matched 12AT7 dual-triode vacuum tube that imparts natural harmonic saturation and a three-dimensional quality to transients. Despite the tube circuitry, the self-noise remains low enough for detail-critical recordings, distinguishing it from older all-transformer tube designs.

Three Polar Patterns

Switching between cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 patterns is handled via the dedicated AT8560 power supply included with the microphone. Each pattern is accurate and consistent across the frequency range, allowing the AT4060a to serve as a room microphone, a spot mic, or a mid-side element.

Included Power Supply

The AT8560 power supply provides the high-voltage bias required by the tube circuit and connects to the microphone via the supplied seven-pin cable. The supply offers two polar pattern selections and accepts standard AC power, making it straightforward to integrate into any studio rack.
