A Condenser Mic That's Punchy and Clean!

The AT4041 outperforms mics twice its price! Its warm, delicate, sweet sound makes recordings spring to life. It's ideal for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, horns and under snares.

This premium electret condenser microphone is engineered to meet the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and live sound. The AT4041 cardioid studio condenser microphone features a smooth, extended frequency response with a slight rise in the high-frequency region and a transformerless output for very high SPL-handling capability. A unique combination of audio excellence and moderate cost, the AT4041 is a rugged microphone housed in a case of turned brass with black chrome plating for durability and low reflectivity. The element back plate holds a fixed charge and has been aged to provide energy stabilization. The surface of the back plate is precision milled to ensure maximum charge linearity, resulting in a reduction in both frequency response peaks and diaphragm break-up distortion.

A great deal on a fantastic mic

by Chris from Kalamazoo, MI

Music Background: Professional guitarist, recording engineer
I chose this mic because I work for an AT dealer, and had heard that it was generally well regarded, but hadn't heard any definite descriptions of it in a studio capacity. So I took a chance, and I c... read more [+]ouldn't be more pleased with the quality of these mics, and with AT mics in general. The sound is crisp and detailed but not harsh. The nuances of acoustic guitars come out beautifully. As an overhead, this mic really shines. The drums sound full bodied and detailed, and the snare has never sounded better for me. Of course there are much better mics out there, but in this price range, I can't imagine it getting better than this. I'm getting some of the best drum sounds I've ever gotten, even in the fairly crappy basement recording space that I have to work with. The downside is that they don't sell them in matched pairs, but the two that I purchased match up very well. You can't go wrong with this one!!! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
