The Audio-Technica AT8015 (AT815B) is a wide-range condenser
microphone with a line + gradient polar pattern specifically designed
to provide the narrow acceptance angle desirable for long distance
sound pickup. It was created for use in professional recording,
broadcasting, film/ TV/video production, high-quality sound
reinforcement and other demanding applications requiring excellent
sound rejection from the sides and rear.
Audio Technica
engineers have utilized the newest low-mass condenser technology in the
quest for superior performance. The permanent charge is now on the
fixed back plate, rather than on the moving element. With the
fixed-charge "back plate" construction, a gold-vaporized diaphragm just
4 microns thick (about 0.00016") can be used. This reduces moving mass,
improving frequency response and transient response while reducing
distortion.
