Exceptional low noise, wide dynamic range and high SPL capability give the Audio-Technica AT4040 large-diaphragm studio condenser mic studio versatility. Designed for professional recording, the AT4040 features an externally polarized true condenser designed with a technically advanced large diaphragm tensioned specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics. Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion. Precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity. The open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing minimizes unwanted internal reflections. It has a switchable 80Hz hi-pass filter, 10dB pad, cardioid pattern, and comes with a shockmount and case.
The AT4040 requires phantom power.
