Audio-Technica AT4041 - Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT4041 is a small-diaphragm, end-address cardioid condenser microphone built for professional recording, broadcast and live sound. Its smooth, extended frequency response has a slight rise in the high frequencies, and its transformerless output handles very high sound pressure levels.

The low-mass diaphragm and aged, precision-machined fixed-charge back plate give fast transient response and low distortion. Typical uses include drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, horns and under-snare. The turned-brass housing has a low-reflectance black chrome finish.

Key Features:

• Cardioid pattern rejects sound from the sides and rear for better isolation
• Smooth, extended response with a slight high-frequency rise
• Low-mass diaphragm for improved transient response and reduced handling noise
• Transformerless circuitry for low low-frequency distortion and high SPL handling
• Switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter (12 dB/octave)
• Rugged turned-brass housing
• Integral 3-pin XLRM-type output; requires 48V phantom power
