Our take on the Audio-Technica AT4021 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The AT4021 is a small-diaphragm cardioid condenser in Audio-Technica's low-profile series. Its low-mass diaphragm gives fast transient response and a flat, extended frequency range, and it handles very high sound pressure levels with a wide 132 dB dynamic range. A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad make it adaptable to close-miked drums, guitar cabs and loud sources as well as acoustic instruments and overheads. It competes with other small-diaphragm condensers on neutrality and low self-noise rather than character, and it ships with a stand clamp, windscreen and carrying case.

About the Audio-Technica AT4021 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT4021 is a low-profile condenser microphone with rugged construction. Its cardioid pattern isolates the desired sound source, and a high front-to-back rejection ratio minimizes pickup of unwanted background noise. It is intended for studio recording and live performance.

The microphone has a low-mass diaphragm. This improves transient response, increases response bandwidth and reduces self-noise from handling or mechanical noise transfer. It has flat, extended frequency response and reproduces low frequencies well.

A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and a 10 dB pad are built in. The mic handles high maximum sound pressure levels and has a wide dynamic range of 132 dB (1 kHz at Max SPL).

Questions and answers

Does the AT4021 need phantom power?
Yes. It is a condenser microphone and requires 48 V phantom power from the preamp or interface.
What is the 10 dB pad for?
It lowers the mic's output by 10 dB so loud sources such as drums or guitar cabs don't overload the input.
What does the 80 Hz high-pass filter do?
It rolls off low frequencies to reduce rumble, handling noise and proximity boom on close-miked sources.
What comes in the box?
The microphone, an AT8405a stand clamp for 5/8"-27 threaded stands, a windscreen and a protective carrying case.
Is it good for acoustic guitar?
Yes. Its flat response and fast transients suit acoustic guitar, strings and overheads, and the pad helps on louder playing.
How does it differ from a large-diaphragm condenser?
It is smaller and more neutral, with tighter off-axis rejection and less colored low end, so it is better for instruments than for close vocals.
Where is the Audio-Technica AT4021 Cardioid Condenser Microphone cheapest?
At SoundPro, for $379.00, as of our latest check.
