Description
Audio-Technica AT4041 is a premium cardioid electret condenser microphone engineered for the most demanding professional recording, broadcast, and live sound applications. Delivering a smooth, extended frequency response with a subtle high-frequency presence boost, the AT4041 captures instruments with exceptional clarity, detail, and articulation.
Its low-mass diaphragm enhances transient response and expands bandwidth, making the microphone particularly well suited for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, horns, and under-snare applications. Transformerless circuitry enables very high SPL handling while minimizing low-frequency distortion and preserving the accuracy of fast transients.
The AT4041 features a permanently polarized condenser element with a precision-milled back plate that has been aged for energy stabilization, ensuring maximum charge linearity and reduced distortion. This advanced design minimizes frequency response peaks and diaphragm breakup for a more natural sound reproduction.
Built for reliability in professional environments, the microphone is housed in a rugged turned-brass body with black chrome plating that provides durability and low reflectivity. A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter helps reduce low-frequency rumble and handling noise, while state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques ensure consistent performance. The AT4041 also includes essential accessories for immediate deployment in studio or live setups.
