Audio Technica AT 2031

The Perfect Microphone for Stringed Instruments at an Unbeatable Price

The AT2031 is the perfect microphone for stringed instruments in critical studio and live situations. The permanently charged condenser offers a detailed sound image thanks to a wide frequency response and a slight boost in the high frequency range. A wide dynamic range is achieved by a low self-noise combined with high sound level compatibility, making the microphone ideal for even the most demanding applications. In professional studio applications, it serves as a perfect auxiliary microphone for drums or recordings close to orchestral ensembles. Its rugged construction and low price make the AT2031 the perfect companion to record percussion, acoustic guitar, hi-hat, overheads and piano.
