Audio-Technica introduces its AT8004 and AT8004L Omnidirectional Dynamic Microphones, two new microphone solutions designed specifically for the broadcasting market.

According to Audio-Technica, the AT8004 (5.93 inches) and the longer AT8004L (9.43 inches) both offer exceptionally natural sound reproduction and are ideal for handheld interviews, ENG/EFP and sports broadcasting applications, or as the "mono" mic when used in conjunction with a stereo mic. Additionally, the AT8004L's longer handle accommodates a microphone flag while still providing sufficient space for the talent to grip the microphone.


The AT8004 and AT8004L utilize XLRM-type connectors. Output is via balanced, low impedance (low-Z) XLRM-type connectors. Finally, the AT8004 and AT8004L weigh 5.6 oz. and 7.6 oz., respectively, and have a head diameter of 1.41 inches.

The AT8004 and AT8004L Omnidirectional Dynamic Microphones will be available May 2008 with U.S. MSRPs as follows:

AT8004 $135.00 AT8004L $149.00
