Audio-Technica AT4041 Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone

Product Description

The Audio-Technica AT4041 is a premium electret condenser microphone engineered to meet the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and live sound. The AT4041 cardioid studio condenser microphone features a smooth, extended frequency response with a slight rise in the high-frequency region and a transformerless output for very high SPL-handling capability. A unique combination of audio excellence and moderate cost, the AT4041 is a rugged microphone housed in a case of turned brass with black chrome plating for durability and low reflectivity. The element back plate holds a fixed charge and has been aged to provide energy stabilization. The surface of the backplate is precision milled to ensure maximum charge linearity, resulting in a reduction in both frequency response peaks and diaphragm break-up distortion.

Transformerless circuitry ensures virtually no distortion of low frequencies providing excellent transient response.

Low-mass diaphragm improves transient response by increasing the bandwidth of the response and reducing the transfer of mechanical noise and handling.

Design techniques and advanced manufacturing ensuring compliance with Audio-Technica's strict standards of consistency and reliability.

The AT4041 features an 80 Hz low-cut filter and a switchable -10 dB attenuator pad to increase the versatility of the microphone.

Solid reliability and consistency in sound quality are among the highlights of the AT4041.

The AT8405a shock mount that comes with the AT4041 is also suitable for all cylindrical microphones with a diameter of 21mm. The AT4041 fits neatly into its very own rigid carry case with room for the shock mount and windscreen too.
