The 40 Series is a premium line of condenser microphones specially engineered to meet the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, live sound and broadcast.
Features:
A strong up-front presence characterizes the sonic signature of this versatile pro-audio classic.
Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients.
Precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity.
The 2-micron-thick, vapor-deposited gold diaphragm undergoes a five-step aging process so that the optimum characteristics achieved remain constant over years of use.
Floating-construction capsule assembly provides isolation from noise and vibration.
Open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections.
State-of-the-art surface-mount electronics ensure compliance with A-T's stringent consistency and reliability standards.
