The BP4029 Stereo Shotgun Microphone from Audio-Technica offers two internally-matrixed modes which provide traditional “left-right” stereo. To accommodate varying acoustic environments, the user may select between a “wide” pattern (LR-W) with increased ambient pickup, and a “narrow” pattern (LR-N) which offers more rejection and less ambience.

In M-S mode, the BP4029 provides independent Mid and Side signals. This allows the Mid-Side balance to be adjusted as desired at the recording desk or mixing electronics, reducing the amount of equipment necessary in the field.

• Independent line-cardioid and figure-of-eight condenser elements

• Switch selection of non-matrixed M-S mode and two internally-matrixed left/right stereo modes
