The Audio-Technica AT4040 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern, providing a smooth, natural sound that makes this microphone perfect not only for vocal recordings but also for capturing acoustic instruments like guitars. Its excellent noise isolation, wide dynamic range, fast transient response, and ability to handle high sound pressure levels all contribute to its professional-grade performance. Included with the microphone is a shock mount that effectively eliminates footfall noise, making the AT4040 a reliable choice for high-quality recordings in any production setting.
The Audio-Technica AT4040 features a balanced, transformerless circuitry that ensures impressively low noise, delivering a signal-to-noise ratio of 82dB at 1kHz. Its broad frequency response spans from 20Hz to 20kHz, and with a maximum sound pressure level of 145dB at 1kHz SPL, the AT4040 captures even the loudest signals with clarity and precision. A dynamic range of 133dB allows for expressive performances with wide volume variation, while convenient controls on the rear, such as the low-cut filter for reducing footfall noise and a PAD switch that attenuates the input level by 10dB, add flexibility and control in a variety of recording situations.
The Audio-Technica AT4040 is a versatile microphone ideal for a wide range of recording situations, and its high dynamic range combined with a transparent sound makes this microphone especially well-suited for vocal performances. The AT4040 also excels at capturing acoustic instruments like guitars, strings, and pianos with remarkable clarity. Working with a pair of AT4040s enables stereo recordings that capture a more natural spatial sound, while the PAD switch allows users to mic up even the loudest signal sources without distortion. Inside, a precision-machined baffle made of nickel-plated brass surrounds the internal acoustic element, providing both stability and optimal sensitivity for consistently excellent recordings.
The Japanese company Audio-Technica was founded in 1962 and at first manufactured affordable phono cartridges. The company has since become acclaimed for a whole range of quality audio products. Audio-Technica released their first headphones in 1974. The company later gained huge popularity among musicians with the release of the AT4060 tube microphone. Audio-Technica focuses on high-quality components at affordable prices. Today, their product range offers a wide variety of microphones, headphones, and turntables as well as many other accessories.
Weighing just 360 grams, the Audio-Technica AT4040 is quick to set up and ready to record in moments, easily mounted on an optional microphone stand using the included shock mount. The signal is transmitted to a DAW or mixing console via an XLR cable (sold separately), and as a condenser microphone, the AT4040 requires 48V phantom power, which can be supplied through a connected audio interface or mixing console. For cleaner vocal recordings, an optional pop filter can help reduce plosive sounds like P and B, while the included dust cover keeps the microphone protected when not in use.
