Audio-Technica AT4041 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Overview:

The Audio-Technica AT4041 is a premium electret condenser microphone meticulously crafted to meet the exacting demands of professional recording, broadcast, and live sound applications. Engineered with precision, this cardioid studio condenser microphone offers a smooth and extended frequency response, featuring a subtle rise in the high-frequency region. Its transformerless output ensures exceptional SPL-handling capability, making it suitable for capturing a wide range of audio sources with clarity and precision. The AT4041 combines audio excellence with affordability, housed in a rugged casing made of turned brass with black chrome plating, ensuring durability and low reflectivity. The microphone's low-mass diaphragm enhances transient response while reducing handling noise, ensuring pristine audio capture in any environment.

Features:

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
