The AT2031 is a cardioid condenser end address microphone designed for critical studio and live applications, particularly with stringed instruments. Its permanently polarised element offers an extended frequency response with a slight rise in the high-frequency range for a more detailed sound. Low self-noise and high SPL handling deliver a wide dynamic range suited to demanding recording and reinforcement tasks.

In professional studios, the AT2031 works as an auxiliary microphone for drum kits or close-miking orchestral ensembles. In live use, its rugged steel construction and modest price make it suitable for percussion, acoustic guitar, hi-hat, overheads and piano. The discreet 134 mm body and star-shaped grille with quadruple slots are designed to control directivity while remaining unobtrusive.
