With the AT4040, we have combined the wishes and needs of artists and sound engineers with the precision typical of Audio-Technica. The sound profile of this modern large-diaphragm microphone impresses with its soft, natural character. Suitable for any application, this externally polarized condenser microphone offers exceptional noise isolation, a wide dynamic range, and handles high sound levels effortlessly. The symmetrical transformerless and therefore low-noise circuit design of the AT4040 ensures excellent transient response and pure, uncolored sound even at high sound levels. The microphone is completely distortion-free, a feature typically found only in conventional transformer-coupled outputs.

• Modern large diaphragm with special tension for a soft, natural sound
• Particularly flexible due to exceptional noise isolation, wide dynamic range, and high sound level tolerance
• A transformerless circuit provides nearly distortion-free reproduction at low frequencies and offers excellent correlation of fast transient responses
• The precision-crafted soundboard of the acoustic element is made of nickel-plated brass, providing the transducer with enhanced stability and optimal sensitivity
• Compliance with Audio-Technica's strict quality and reliability standards is ensured by state-of-the-art surface-mount electronics
• Delivery includes the AT8449a shock mount.
