The Audio Technica MB4K has a condenser design for studio vocal and instrument applications.

The MB4K delivers a professional performance with sweet high end and silky transients. The MB4K is powered via external 11 to 52V phantom power source or AA battery. It's slim profile provides a comfortable grip and an On/Off switch provided for added control. A Multi-stage internal breath shield effectively reduces popping and an Internally shock-mounted element is employed for low handling noise. The microphone has corrosion-resistant contacts from gold-plated XLRM-type connectors and a rugged all-metal construction. The MB4K is versatile and represents exceptional value for money.
