Audio-Technica AT2041SP

Studio miking essentials
The AT2041SP Studio Pack offers two versatile 20 Series condenser microphones for use in home, project and commercial studios. Equally at home with digital and analog recording devices, the two included studio condensers deliver remarkable specs and superior build. The critically acclaimed AT2020 side-address condenser is ideal for vocal and instrument applications, while the new AT2021 small-diaphragm condenser is a natural for acoustic instruments, overheads, hi-hat and piano.

Audio-Technica’s stringent quality/consistency standards set both microphones apart from other mics in their class. Each offers a wide dynamic range and handles high SPLs with ease. An innovative pivoting stand mount is included along with a microphone clip and protective pouches.

• AT2020 Side-address cardioid condenser microphone

• AT2021 Small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone

• Pivoting, threaded stand mount for the AT2020

• Professional stand clamp for the AT2021
