Audio-Technica AT4040SP – No Longer Available

The Audio-Technica AT4040SP Studio Pack offers two of Audio-Technica’s renowned 40 Series studio condenser microphones: the AT4040 large-diaphragm side-address condenser and the AT4041 cardioid condenser. Each microphone is transformerless, resulting in exceptional transient response and extremely clean output signals; each is engineered to meet the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and live sound. A shock mount, stand clamp and windscreen are included, along with a protective wooden carrying case.

AT4040SP Studio Pack includes:

• AT4040 side-address cardioid condenser microphone
• AT4041 cardioid condenser microphone
• AT8449 shock mount
• AT8405a stand clamp
• AT8159 windscreen
• Protective wooden storage case

About the microphones

AT4040 Side-address cardioid condenser microphone:

• Technically-advanced large diaphragm tensioned specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics
• 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
• AT4041Cardioid condenser microphone:
• Smooth, extended frequency response with a slight rise occurring in the high-frequency region
• Ideal for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, horns and under snare
• Low-mass diaphragm improves transient response, increases response bandwidth and reduces handling and mechanical noise transfer
• Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients
• State-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure compliance with A-T's stringent consistency and reliability standards
• Switchable hi-pass filter and rugged turned-brass microphone housing
