AUDIO-TECHNICA INTRODUCES AT2021 CARDIOID CONDENSER MICROPHONE
— Designed for home studio and stage applications, AT2021 provides extended frequency response, high maximum SPL and a wide dynamic range, all at a budget-conscious price point—
STOW, OH, July 19, 2010 — Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 45 years, offers the new AT2021 Cardioid Condenser Microphone. Ideal for home studio and live applications, the low-profile AT2021 offers an extended frequency response, high maximum SPL and wide dynamic range. The microphone’s condenser design provides studio-quality performance for vocal and instrument applications, and is outstanding for acoustic guitar, overheads, piano and group vocals. The AT2021 is also available packaged with the acclaimed AT2020 in the AT2041SP Studio Pack.
The AT2021 captures smooth, natural sonic characteristics of the audio source, and the low-mass element provides excellent transient response. Corrosion-resistant contacts from the microphone’s gold-plated XLRM-type connector, in addition to the mic’s rugged design and construction, ensure consistent, reliable performance and durability for the user. The unit’s cardioid polar pattern rejects pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of the desired sound source.
The AT2021 specifications include:
