The AT4040 side-address cardioid condenser microphone features an advanced large diaphragm, tensioned specifically to provide smooth and natural sonic reproduction. The AT4040 offers exceptionally low noise, wide dynamic range, and high-SPL capability, making it a versatile addition to any mic locker. Its consistency means it excels in a variety of situations, both live and in the studio, and its symmetrical, transformerless low-noise circuitry delivers exceptional transient response and clean output signals for transparent reproduction of even the most troublesome instruments and effects. The AT4040’s design includes visual and functional elements that enhance its pro-level bona fides, including a precision-machined, nickel-plated brass acoustic element baffle that provides superior element stability and optimal sensitivity. The open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing minimizes unwanted internal reflections, and the surface-mount electronics meet Audio-Technica’s highest consistency and reliability standards.
