Studio engineers often use multiple microphones on a single audio source for balanced, textured tracks. It's common to see a large-diaphragm condenser defining the character of an instrument, for example, with a small-diaphragm condenser adding the subtle details. Alternatively, the smaller mic is used up close for a crisp image, with the larger mic at a distance letting in room ambience and rounding out the sound. Either way, it's important to match the microphones for the best overall blend. Audio Technica's Studio Packs have everything you need to bring layered, multi-dimensional complexity to your recorded tracks. The SP2041 contains a large-diaphragm AT2020 side-address condenser, plus an AT2021 small-diaphragm condenser, delivering professional results for budget-minded studios. If you need wider frequency response and higher SPL handling, the SP4041 features a large AT4040 mic and the smaller AT4041, plus shockmount, windscreen, and protective case. Sometimes, a pair of small-diaphragm condensers is your best bet. A tight stereo image up above your drum kit can highlight the crisp cymbal details, for example. Audio Technica's SP4041 pack includes a pair of AT4041's, perfect for this purpose.
