An Audio-Technica 40 Series microphone with very low self-noise, for vocals in the studio.
Audio-Technica AT4040 · Reference AT4040
The AT4040 is a 40 Series studio condenser microphone, cardioid, with a large diaphragm. Its 12 dB SPL self-noise and transformerless electronics suit it to close-miked vocals, and it comes with its shock mount, a dust cover and a case.
The large diaphragm is tensioned for a natural, even sound. Behind it, the electronics do without a transformer: virtually no low-frequency distortion, and a fast response to the attacks of a voice or an instrument. The capsule is protected by a nickel-plated copper shield, for stability and sensitivity.
The 80 Hz high-pass filter, 12 dB per octave, makes the microphone less sensitive to the plosives of a voice sung very close, to low ambient noise such as traffic or ventilation, to room echo and to vibrations coming up through the stand. For a loud source, the -10 dB pad raises handling from 145 to 155 dB SPL. The response runs from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a sensitivity of -32 dB.
The AT8449a shock mount screws onto a 5/8"-27 stand and isolates the microphone from shocks and vibrations. Between sessions, a cover keeps the dust off and a rigid case protects it in transport.
The AT4040 requires 48 V phantom power (4.2 mA), supplied by the interface, the console or a preamp. The XLR cable is not included: plan for a balanced 3-pin cable.
It takes its place in the Microphone department. To record and monitor, see the audio interfaces, the ATH-M50x studio headphones and the Audio-Technica range.
