AUDIO TECHNICA AT5040 Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic

The AT5040 Cardioid Condenser is Audio-Technica's premier studio vocal microphone. The AT5040 represents a milestone in condenser design, offering remarkable high-fidelity musical performance, with profound realism and depth, presence and purity of sound. 

Designed as a first-choice vocal microphone, the AT5040 features an extremely smooth top end with controlled sibilance. Large-diaphragm characteristics and fast transient response also make it ideal for recording acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, strings and saxophone.
