DESCRIPTION
Audio-Technica's flagship studio vocal microphone, the AT5040 represents the pinnacle of the acclaimed 50 Series. Engineered and hand-assembled in Japan, this side-address cardioid condenser delivers an extraordinarily refined sonic character that elevates critical recording applications.
At the heart of the AT5040 is a groundbreaking design featuring four ultra-thin rectangular diaphragm elements operating in unison. This innovative topology provides a combined surface area equivalent to a large-diaphragm capsule while achieving an exceptionally low self-noise floor and remarkable transient response. The result is breathtaking detail and openness, particularly on lead vocals, acoustic guitar, and solo instruments.
- Four-element rectangular diaphragm design for superior sensitivity and ultra-low noise
- Cardioid polar pattern with excellent off-axis rejection
- Transformerless output circuitry ensuring pristine, uncoloured signal transfer
- 142 dB maximum SPL handling for dynamic vocal performances without compromise
- Frequency response: 20 Hz â 20 kHz
- 48V phantom power required; 50-ohm output impedance
- Includes AT8480 shock mount with precision machining for secure, resonance-free mounting
Purpose-built for world-class tracking rooms and vocal booths, the AT5040 is an essential tool for engineers and producers who demand absolute fidelity and an uncompromising signal path from source to DAW.
