A marriage of technical precision and artistic inspiration, the AT4040 features an advanced large diaphragm, tensioned specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics. Designed as a multi-purpose performer, this externally polarized (DC bias) true condenser microphone offers exceptionally low noise, wide dynamic range and high SPL capability for greatest versatility. Being symmetrical and transformerless the microphone is totally free of the distortion associated with conventional transformer-coupled outputs. Its fast response to transients contributes to the open, transparent reproduction of even the most troublesome of instruments and sound effects.

  • 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 Audio-Technica's stringent consistency and reliability standards
  • Custom shock mount provides superior isolation
  • Switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad

Accurately captures sound

The innovative large diaphragm capsule within the AT4040 condenser microphone has a cardioid polar pattern. Cardioid polar patterns are perfect for a huge range of applications - with more sensitivity at the front of the microphone and significantly less at the sides and rear, a cardioid pattern reduces the capture of ambient noise and unwanted sound sources. This powerful pattern is ideal for live performances and studio recording, be it spoken-word, vocals, instrumentation and more. The narrow angle of sensitivity minimizes bleed from other sources, capturing only what you want to be heard.

Best possible performance

When you've invested into creating the ultimate recording system, the last thing you want is noise making its way into your signal path and ruining your recordings or performance. That's what makes the AT4040 a perfect choice no matter what you intend to capture - the ultra-low operating noise of the mic ensures you get the best quality sonic performance out of your rig. Whether your setup is sophisticated or straightforward, the Audio Technica AT4040 seamlessly integrates into your workflow without adding unwanted colouration to your sound.
