Audio Technica AT4040 Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Shockmount

The Audio-Technica AT4040 is designed for professional recording and critical applications in broadcast and live sound. The technically advanced large diaphragm is tensioned specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics.

Features:

Externally polarized (DC bias) true condenser design

Exceptionally low noise, wide dynamic range and high-SPL capability for greatest versatility

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

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

Switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad

Includes AT8449 shock mount
