preampliers

• Custom shock mount provides superior isolation

Description

The AT4080 is a side-address ribbon microphone with a bidirectional

polar pattern. Delivering the warmth and natural sound of a classic

ribbon microphone, the AT4080 offers a robust build for long-lasting

performance and high gain for easy use with microphone preampliers.

With 18 patents pending, Audio-Technica’s innovative ribbon transducer

advances the evolution of ribbon microphone technology, combining

remarkable durability and high-SPL capability with smooth, rich audio

quality. The microphone is recommended for vocals, horns, strings,

acoustic instruments, drum overheads, orchestras, ensembles and guitar

cabinets. It excels in recording studios as well as in live-sound settings.

A signicant breakthrough in ribbon cartridge design, Audio-Technica’s

patent-pending MicroLinear™ ribbon imprint minimizes ribbon distortion

for durable performance and accurate reproduction of the sound source.

While the application of phantom power was prohibited for old-

school ribbon microphones, Audio-Technica’s AT4080 requires 48V

phantom power for operation. The phantom power is used—not for the

microphone’s dynamic ribbon transducer—but for its active electronics,

which bring its output to near condenser microphone level. This high-

output and stable impedance make the microphone easy to integrate

with microphone preampliers.

The bidirectional polar pattern of the microphone makes it equally

sensitive to sounds originating in front and back of the element.

The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.

The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. The included AT8449/SV

shock mount provides superior isolation and permits mounting on any

microphone stand with 5/8"-27 threads. A dust cover and a protective

carrying case are also included.

Operation & Maintenance

The AT4080 requires 48V phantom power for operation.

Output is low impedance (Lo-Z) balanced. The signal appears across Pins

2 and 3; Pin 1 is ground (shield). Output phase is “Pin 2 hot” – positive

acoustic pressure produces positive voltage at Pin 2.

To avoid phase cancellation and poor sound, all mic cables must be wired

consistently: Pin 1-to-Pin 1, etc.

A raised Audio-Technica emblem is on the front of the microphone.

Position this side of the microphone toward the sound source.

In use, secure the cable to the mic stand or boom, leaving a slack loop at

the mic. This will ensure the most effective shock isolation and reduce the

possibility of accidentally pulling the microphone out of its mount.

Note: While Audio-Technica ribbon microphones are designed for superior

durability, we recommend the following precautions when dealing with

ribbon microphones: do not blow directly into the ribbon assembly; use a

popper-stopper style windscreen for up-close vocal use.

Take care to keep foreign particles from entering the windscreen.

An accumulation of foreign material in the ribbon structure and/or the

windscreen’s mesh surface, can degrade performance. Avoid leaving the

microphone in the open sun or in areas where temperatures exceed 110°

F (43° C) for extended periods. Extremely high humidity should also be

avoided.
