Audio Technica AT-4040
Audio Technica's AT-4040 was designed "for professional recording and critical applications in broadcast and live sound." This condenser has a nickel plated, brass, large diaphragm. Typically, nickel diaphragms are brighter than gold. The acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity. The open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections.
AT states that the 4040 captures transients and reproduces them accurately, via state-of-the-art surface mount electronics.
This mic comes with AT8779 shock-mount, dust cover and case.
