Audio Technica AT4041
This premium electret condenser microphone is engineered to meet themost critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcastand live sound. The AT4041 cardioid studio condenser microphonefeatures a smooth, extended frequency response with a slight rise in thehigh-frequency region and a transformerless output for very highSPL-handling capability. A unique combination of audio excellence andmoderate cost, the AT4041 is a rugged microphone housed in a case ofturned brass with black chrome plating for durability and lowreflectivity. The element back plate holds a fixed charge and has beenaged to provide energy stabilization. The surface of the back plate isprecision milled to ensure maximum charge linearity, resulting in areduction in both frequency response peaks and diaphragm break-updistortion.
- 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-frequencydistortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients
- State-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensurecompliance with A-T’s stringent consistency and reliability standards
- Switchable hi-pass filter and rugged turned-brass microphone housing
