BP4025 - Overview

Designed for broadcast and professional recording, the Audio-Technica BP4025 stereo condenser mic offers large-diaphragm capsules in an innovative coincident capsule configuration. This allows for a smaller housing while producing an X/Y stereo image with the spatial impact and realism of a live sound field. Ideal for use with professional audio and video equipment, the microphone is fully RoHS-compliant - free from all substances specified in the EU directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS).

The BP4025 is a fixed-charge condenser microphone with an X/Y stereo polar pattern. It is designed for professional broadcast and recording, and field use. The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation. The microphone offers large-diaphragm capsules in an innovative coincident capsule configuration. This allows for a smaller housing while producing an X/Y stereo image with the spatial impact and realism of a live sound field. The microphone includes a 16.5ft output cable terminating in a 5-pin XLRF-type and two 3-pin XLRM-type connectors. The output of the microphone is a 5-pin XLRM-type connector. The microphone is equipped with a switchable 10dB pad and a switch that permits choice of flat response or low-frequency roll-off (via integral 80Hz high-pass filter).
