T4

Common name: Applied Research & Technology T4

Production Status: In production

The ART T4 tube condenser microphone is perfect for recording both critical vocals and essential instruments. The dual diaphragm multi-pattern tube design delivers nine different polar pattern settings allowing unmatched versatility, making the T4 ideal for virtually every recording application. The microphone’s chassis is precision-tooled brass body with a dent resistant stainless-steel wire-mesh windscreen protects the dual 35mm gold sputtered diaphragms and integrated 7025 vacuum tube pre-amp. An external heavy-duty cradle mount suspension virtually eliminates vibration and handling noise. The T4 has nine available polar patterns, selectable from the front panel of the external power supply unit. Rather than limiting the user to only the three most common patterns (omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8 patterns), the T4 has three gradient stages between each of those positions allowing the artist and recording engineer a wider tone pallet.  The ART T4 requires its proprietary external low noise power supply to operate. The microphone’s precision-tooled microphone body and dent resistant stainless-steel wire-mesh windscreen protects the internal tube, advanced electronics and dual microphone capsules ensuring unmatched long term reliability. The T4 comes equipped with an extremely secure custom microphone shock-mount, 7-pin XLR cable, microphone case and additional aluminum carry case for added protection.
