MSRP: $259 Omnidirectional Pencil Condenser Microphone

Audio-Technica AT3032

Description

The low-profile AT3032 is an omnidirectional condenser suitable for instruments such as 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.

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.
