Description

The Audio-Technica AT4040SP Studio Pack offers you two of A-T's renowned 40 Series studio condenser microphones: the AT4040 large-diaphragm side-address condenser mic 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. Audio-Technica includes a shock mount, stand clamp and windscreen along with a protective vinyl carrying case with this mic pack.

Requires phantom power.

  • The AT8405a stand clamp
  • The AT8159 windscreen
  • A protective vinyl storage case
About the 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:

    I think that the Audio Technica AT4040SP is a great way to start off your career. I am a amatuer rapper so when i look at the price I see that it is very affordable. The sound quality that you get from hearing your voice through your headset is Awesome. This mic picks up all of your vocals so that you can hear them crisp and clear. It also can pick up low frequency so thats a plus. It is easy to travel with.Easy to use with any recording software. 4 stars
