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.
Features
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
Transformer less 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
