The AT4040SC side-address condenser microphone features an advanced large diaphragm tensioned specifically to provide
smooth, natural sonic characteristics. A marriage of technical precision and artistic inspiration, the AT4040SC offers
exceptionally low noise, wide dynamic range and high-SPL capability for greatest versatility. This ultra-consistent
microphone may be used with confidence in a wide variety of studio and live miking applications, even under the
stringent demands of digital recording systems.
The AT4040SC low-noise circuitry is symmetrical and transformerless, resulting in exceptional
transient response and clean output signals for transparent reproduction of even the most troublesome of instruments and
sound effects. Supplied with AT8449 shockmount. Also available with the AT8430 stand clamp, AT4040SC.
