Manufacturer's website

The studio-quality AT3031, a low-profile cardioid condenser microphone from Audio-Technica’s renowned 30 Series, is known for a flat, extended frequency response, high maximum SPL and wide dynamic range. Its low self-noise (16 dB SPL) is perfectly suited for the most sophisticated recording equipment. Its low-mass diaphragm improves transient response, increases response bandwidth and reduces handling and mechanical noise transfer.

• Outstanding performance and versatility
  
• High max SPL and wide dynamic range
  
• Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
  
• Low self-noise (16 dB SPL) – perfectly suited for today's most sophisticated digital recording equipment
  
• Flat, extended frequency response
  
• Lo-cut switch (80 Hz, 12 dB/octave) and 10 dB pad
