Audio-Technica AT4040 Side-Address Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Because of its superior sound capture capabilities, the Audio-Technica AT4040 Side-Address Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a top choice for professional recording applications. This high-quality microphone features a large diaphragm, ensuring a more natural, full-bodied sound that is ideal for capturing vocals and a wide range of instruments, including pianos, guitars, and string instruments.The AT4040's cardioid polar pattern is designed to minimize off-axis signals, effectively reducing ambient and residual noise. This results in pristine, low-noise recordings that truly capture the essence of the sound source. With a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and an impedance of 100 ohms, this microphone delivers reliable and versatile performance.One of the standout features of the AT4040 is its integral 80 Hz high-pass filter. This allows for easy switching from a flat frequency response to a low-end roll-off, providing flexibility based on your recording needs. The high-pass position not only reduces the microphone's sensitivity to popping in close vocal use but also diminishes the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise such as traffic, air-handling systems, and mechanically-coupled vibrations. Whether you're recording in a studio, performing live, or capturing audio for other professional applications, the Audio-Technica AT4040 Side-Address Cardioid Condenser Microphone offers the durability, reliability, and sound quality you need.
