Audio-Technica AT3032

Omnidirectional Pencil Condenser Microphone

The AT3032 is an omnidirectional electret condenser microphone designed for acoustic instruments.

It has a generally flat frequency response from 30Hz - 5kHz, with a slight (+2dB) presence peak around 10kHz.

Audio-Technica

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.

See also the AT3031, which is the same mic with a cardioid pickup pattern.

These mics may have inspired the Chinese pencil condensers, which look much the same. See, for example, the Feilo CR1-14 and its clones.

The AT3032 includes a mic clip (p/n AT8405), a foam windscreen (p/n AT8159) and a storage pouch.

The Audio-Technica AT3032 is also known as: AT-3032.
