Audio technica AT2031

With perfect definition at an incredible price, the AT2031 is the ideal microphone for stringed instruments in critical studio and live applications. The AT2031 is perfect for recording string instruments such as violin, cello, acoustic guitar, harp and piano both in the studio and for live stage performances. Its permanently polarized element offers extended frequency response with a slight rise in the high frequency range for a more detailed sound. This Cardioid polar pattern also improves isolation of the desired sound source.

Offering an excellent frequency response, the microphone gives an accurate and airy sound on sources difficult to capture, such as piano and strings. Its low self-noise and high SPL handling capability offer a wide dynamic range, perfectly suited for the most demanding applications.

For professional recording studios, it is a perfect auxiliary microphone for a drum kit or to record in proximity to orchestral ensembles. For live recording, its rugged construction and low prices will make it a perfect companion for capturing percussion, acoustic guitar, hi-hat, overheads and piano.
