Audio-Technica AT5040 - Cardioid Condenser Studio Vocal Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT5040 is a premium side-address cardioid condenser microphone designed primarily for studio vocals. Its element uses four rectangular, 2-micron-thick diaphragms that work together as one large surface while keeping transient response fast.

It offers very low self-noise (5 dB SPL), 137 dB dynamic range and 142 dB SPL maximum input. Internal shock mounting, a rugged aluminum and brass housing and an included AT8480 shock mount isolate it from vibration. Each unit is hand-assembled and inspected.
