"THIS IS A GREAT AT SERIES MIC FROM AUDIO TECHNICA !!"

Feature:
has a 10 db attenuator and 80 hz high pass.

Quality:
top notch quality in the at4040. I'll compare this mic to anything out there costing alot more. This mic is made in JAPAN. We all know that quality is what comes out of there- from cars to you name it!!

Value:
a great value.it is a Japanese built product.No wonder it's terrific.the 2 I bought sound like a matched pair !!

Desirability:
i own 2 of them.

Sound:
this is super vocal and acoustic guitar mic.it has a full sound.airy highs natural mids and beautiful full lows. It's basically an improved at4033-has better specs!!!

Support:
they're real helpful.I had a question on getting some extra mic mounts and they were great!

Overall:
this mic sounds as good as mics that are alot more in price. I compared it to the Blue Blueberry,the Neumann tlm103, and the Rode NTK. In my opinion it outperforms them all on vocals-and is as good on acoustic guitar.

Audio-Technica AT4040 Mic Customer Review

Feature:
I like the fact that it has a high pass 80hz filter and a -10db rolloff. Neither of these are offered on the Neumann TLM103 and Rode NTK,which incidentally cost more !

Sound:
This mic sounds terrific on vocals when used in conjunction with a Blue Robbie Mic Preamp,with or without compression. I've compared it to other microphones in my arsenal and it basically outperforms them. Some of my other mics are :A Neumann TLM103,A Rode K2 and Rode NTK,and AKG C414. The Audio Technica At4040 has a better,balanced overall sound on most sources. I think it's because of it's 2mm thick capsule membrane which is a new design from AT.
