The Audio-Technica AT8004L is an omnidirectional dynamic microphone with extended handle, specifically optimized for broadcast interviews. Measuring 239.5 mm in length with a 35.8 mm head diameter, its design accommodates customized mic flags displaying broadcaster logos. Featuring an omnidirectional polar pattern for natural ambient sound reproduction, the microphone is ideal for interviews, sports broadcasting, and as a 'mono' mic paired with stereo microphones. Constructed with a rugged housing and hardened-steel grille, it withstands field conditions while internal shock mounting minimizes handling and cable noise. Weighing 215 grams, this discontinued model includes a stand clamp, windscreen, and protective carrying case.
