The 4052 uses the same type of cartridge as the famous 4006, but is preamplified using a built-in, ultra-small, thick-film mounted FET preamplifier, which enables the cartridge to be used with an extremely compact microphone housing. The 4052 has its cable attached behind the microphone axis, for situations where the microphone needs to be suspended from its own cable. This mic is perfect for on-camera or on-stage use where high-definition audio is a priority, and is also extremely popular for use in A-B stereo pairs in concert halls.
