The Audio-Technica AT8004 Handheld Microphone is a rugged omnidirectional microphone designed for ENG-style interviews, speech capturing, etc. The omnidirectional polar pattern is ideal for capturing surrounding ambience or providing a “forgiving” pickup area for talkers who tend to move and change positions. The transparent audio reproduction results in natural vocal reproduction, and the internally shock-mounted element minimises handling noise. The AT8004 is an ideal solution for reporters, podium mounting and much more.
