That Unmistakable Ribbon Mic Sound!
Ribbon mics are all the rage. Wanna know why? You probably already know. The "hear you" the way your ears hear you. It's unbelievably natural, smooth, and warm. Unfortunately, ribbons went out of style because of how fragile they are and how low of an output they have. But the AT4080 gives you all of that ribbon goodness, without the problems. It's a special Active Ribbon design for a robust, long-lasting design with higher output to work with your favorite microphone preamps. Audio-Technica has about 18 patents out on the technology behind this fantastic microphone, it's that groundbreaking. Oustanding on vocals. A true performer on nearly any acoustic instrument. An all-star on orchestral-anything. You'll love the Audio-Technica AT4080 ribbon mic.
