Description
The Audio‑Technica AT4041 is a professional-grade cardioid condenser microphone built for critical recording, broadcast, and live sound applications. Its low-mass diaphragm and precision-engineered fixed‑charge back plate deliver smooth, extended frequency response and excellent transient response — ideal for capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, drum overheads, strings, horns, or as a reliable studio workhorse.
Designed with transformer‑less circuitry for high SPL‑handling capability and low distortion, the AT4041 offers durability with its rugged turned-brass housing and reliable build. A switchable 80 Hz high‑pass filter helps minimize low-frequency rumble and unwanted ambient noise, making the mic versatile enough for studio sessions, live tracking, or instrument miking.
