Audio Technica AT4073A Shotgun Microphone

The AT4073a sets new standards in small size and light weight. With an overall length of just 9.13” and weight of just 4.0 oz., the mic adds virtually no heft to the end of a fish pole or the top of a minicam. Through the use of an advanced proprietary Audio-Technica design, the interference tube of the AT4073a provides a narrow acceptance angle that would require a tube 50 percent longer using conventional technology.
