At 21.22”
long, Audio-Technica’s new
BP4071L is among the longest
shotgun microphones on the
market today. Originally
developed at the request of
broadcast professionals, this
microphone boasts an extremely
narrow polar pattern, excellent
rejection from the sides and
rear of the microphone, along
with crisp, intelligible audio
reproduction. It offers
switchable low-frequency
roll-off and a 10 dB pad, and
comes generously equipped with a
stand clamp, windscreen, and
case.
