The low-profile AT3032 omnidirectional condenser recording mic is outstanding for piano, acoustic guitar, and other acoustic instruments. Known for its flat, extended frequency response and wide dynamic range, the AT3032 handles high SPLs with ease. Its low-mass diaphragm improves transient response, increases response bandwidth and reduces handling and mechanical noise transfer. Its low self-noise (16 dB SPL) is perfectly suited for the most sophisticated recording equipment.
