AT4041 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

This premium electret condenser microphone is 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 back plate is precision milled to ensure maximum charge linearity, resulting in a reduction in both frequency response peaks and diaphragm break-up distortion.

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

Great Recording Mics These are really fantastic mics for all sorts of recording applications. I have used them as drum overheads, room mics, choir mics and they have handled it all very well. They are not as bright or as harsh as other mics which makes them much more useful for things like vocals where too much high frequency is a problem. Great to buy them in the stereo pair.
