Overview
Capture precise, long-range audio without adding bulk — the Audio-Technica BP4073 line/gradient condenser microphone is engineered for professional broadcast, film, theater and security use. This shotgun microphone combines a narrow interference tube acceptance angle with a super-cardioid polar pattern to focus on the source while rejecting off-axis noise, making it an excellent choice for surveillance, monitoring and location dialogue. At just 9.17 inches long and 3.5 ounces, the BP4073 minimizes boom weight and crew fatigue while maintaining professional performance. Its wide 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response and low self-noise deliver natural, detailed sound for voice and ambient pickup, and the -29 dB sensitivity with a 50-ohm impedance ensures consistent levels into industry-standard XLR inputs. Built for reliability, the rugged black housing and stand/shotgun mount compatibility support fast deployment on set or in field monitoring setups. Choose the BP4073 when you need focused, dependable audio for production, security and surveillance projects — add it to your kit for cleaner dialogue and clearer monitoring on every shoot.
