Audio-Technica's AT2021 Cardioid Condenser Microphone promises an extended frequency response, high maximum SPL and wide dynamic range for acoustic guitar, overheads, piano and group vocals.
The unit's cardioid polar pattern is designed to reject pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of the desired sound source. The units are also designed for reliability, with corrosion-resistant contacts from the microphone's gold-plated XLRM-type connector.
The AT2021 is also available packaged with the AT2020 in the AT2041SP Studio Pack.
