Product Description

The D40 with its solid all-metal body will stand up to the hardships of night-after-night onstage use "with a smile". The Varimotion diaphragm deep-drawing process allows the diaphragm itself to be fine-tuned with no need for tuning resonators, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance.

The transducer is protected by a sturdy wire-mesh cap and takes extremely high sound pressure levels with ease.

An integrated stand adapter and standard H 440 mounting bracket for snare drums, tom-toms, etc. make the D40 a highly versatile tool for use on drums, percussions, wind instruments, and guitar amps.

Features
- Dynamic microphone designed for drums and percussions, wind instruments, and guitar amps

- Patented AKG Varimotion diaphragm

- Custom built capsule mounting

- Spring steel wire-mesh cap

- Rugged all-metal body withstands typical tough handling on stage zZounds is an authorized dealer of AKG products.

Customer Reviews
4 out of 5 (3 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Captures a great sounding source as is."
Sound: I purchased this for kick drum and it delivers extreemly well for the price. It sounds like the kick drum. No artificial bass boost or anything. Which for a lot of people who do not know how to tune, muffle or do mic placement on a kick drum is probably not good. U an a ori drunner with more than 40 years experience so I know how to make my kick sound right. For me this one is great, Feature: Simple, integrated stand adaptor. I prefer a seperate clip. Ease of Use: Like I said, it sounds much like the source that it is recording. If your drum sound sucks this thing will not help Quality: Real solid build, typical AKG. It can really take the high SPLs. Realy nice finish and solid wind screen The Wow Factor: Yea, I wish I had the money for a nicer mike, but for the bucks I would buy it again. I got mine on sale for 69.99. Not sure I would have aid 100 for it at the time but now that I have it I would say it is worth the 100 Overall: I will probably replace it for kick at some point but I am sure that it will just move to the 16 tom and I know that I will love it there.
