Review - Audio Technica AT4080 And AT4081 Ribbon Microphones

In this video for Pro Tools Expert, Technical Editor James Ivey reviews the Audio Technica 4080 and 4081 ribbon microphones. With music the music of singer songwriter Joel Tavares and his song Rain Down, James records a pair of AT4081 Ribbon mics in a blumlein configuration to capture an open sounding stereo image of the acoustic guitar. James uses the AT4080 to record Joels vocals. The 4080 is much more of a traditional dark sounding Ribbon mic and works perfectly as a vocal mic for this track.
