Large-diaphragm characteristics and fast transient response also make it ideal for recording acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, strings and saxophone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour-Part Rectangular Element \u003c\/strong\u003eThe first of their design criteria for the AT5040 was purity of sound. To achieve this, Audio-Technica engineers developed a four-part rectangular element, the pinnacle of their recent breakthroughs in sound-capture technology. Four exquisitely matched ultra-thin diaphragms function together (with outputs proprietarily summed) as Audio-Technica’s largest-ever element, providing combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy using four diaphragms in a single capsule, the AT5040 delivers the benefits of an exceptionally large diaphragm--along with an extremely low noise floor--without increased weight, decreased transient response or other drawbacks that typically restrict diaphragm size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother key AT5040 design feature is advanced internal shock mounting that effectively decouples the capsule from the microphone body. For additional isolation, each AT5040 is also provided with Audio-Technica’s innovative new AT8480 shock mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Quality Control\u003c\/strong\u003eEvery AT5040 is hand assembled and individually inspected for 100% quality control. Each studio microphone is enclosed in an elegant housing of aluminum and brass with high-quality gray finish for durability and low reflectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscrete components have been selected for optimized capsule performance; in fact, every aspect of the microphone has been carefully considered to minimize any effects on the audio signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio-Technica’s premier studio condenser vocal microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely musical high-fidelity performance, with profound realism and depth, presence and purity of sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour rectangular diaphragms (2 micron) function together as Audio-Technica’s largest-ever element, providing combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptionally low noise and wide dynamic range ideal for studio vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete components carefully selected for optimized capsule performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-SPL capability and extended frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand assembled and inspected for 100% quality control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced internal shock mounting decouples the capsule from the microphone body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElegant, durable housing of aluminum and brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded advanced-design custom AT8480 shock mount provides superior isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom hard-shell carrying case with die-cut foam compartments offers protection during storage and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElement: Fixed-charge back plate, permanently polarized condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar Pattern: Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 – 20,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Circuit Sensitivity: –25 dB (56.2 mV) re 1V at 1 Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 50 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Input Sound Level: 142 dB SPL, 1 kHz at 1% T.H.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise: 5 dB SPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range (typical): 137 dB, 1 kHz at Max SPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio: 89 dB, 1 kHz at 1 Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhantom Power Requirements: 48V DC, 3.8 mA typical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 582 g (20.5 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 165.3 mm (6.51'') long, 57.0 mm (2.24'') maximum body diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Connectors: Integral 3-pin XLRM-type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories Furnished: AT8480 shock mount for 5\/8\"-27 threaded stands; protective carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Audio Technica","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":31588890935344,"sku":"AT5040","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/2631\/5568\/products\/AT5040.jpg?v=1585033194","url":"https:\/\/shop.solotech.com\/en-uk\/products\/audio-technica-at5040-condenser-microphone","provider":"Solotech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
