discontinued Cardioid Condenser Tube Microphone

Audio-Technica AT3060

Description

The AT3060 is a fixed-cardioid tube condenser that operates on phantom power — no external tube power supply is needed.

The microphone contains a large diaphragm cardioid capsule, large coupling transformer, and a hand-selected, individually tested and aged Raytheon 6418 triode tube. Its shock-mounted tube assembly dampens mechanically coupled vibrations.

  • Large-diaphragm cardioid condenser element provides high sensitivity and smooth sound reproduction with low noise levels
  • Hand-selected tubes are individually tested and aged to maintain peak performance
  • Shock-mounted tube assembly dampens mechanically-coupled vibrations
  • Precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity
  • Large coupling transformer provides superior low-frequency linearity
  • State-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure compliance with A-T’s stringent consistency and reliability standards
  • Includes AT8458 shock mount and protective pouch
