Audio-Technica Pro: AT4040 Cardioid Condenser Microphone w/ AT8449 Shock Mount

LAB POINTS

• true condenser design microphone
• technically-advanced large diaphragm tensioned specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics
• 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
• custom shock mount included, provides superior isolation

"The AT4040 side-address condenser microphone features an advanced large diaphragm tensioned specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics. A marriage of technical precision and artistic inspiration, the AT4040 offers exceptionally low noise, wide dynamic range and high-SPL capability for greatest versatility. This ultra-consistent microphone may be used with confidence in a wide variety of studio and live miking applications, even under the stringent demands of digital recording systems. The AT4040’s low-noise circuitry is symmetrical and transformerless, resulting in exceptional transient response and clean output signals for transparent reproduction of even the most troublesome of instruments and sound effects." - Audio-Technica
