DESCRIPTION

−

The AKG D40 is a dynamic instrument microphone built for close-miking drums, percussion, wind instruments and guitar cabinets. It suits engineers and musicians who need a durable, predictable close mic that holds its character night after night on stage or in the rehearsal room.

At its core is AKG's patented Varimotion diaphragm, which uses a laminated material of varying thickness to damp high resonance peaks and deliver a smoother, more controlled response than a conventional uniform diaphragm. A custom-built capsule mounting isolates the element from mechanical shock and handling noise transmitted through stands and drum rims, while the all-metal body and spring steel wire-mesh cap absorb the knocks that come with kit work and fast stage changeovers. The result is a microphone that integrates easily into a multi-mic drum setup or a busy backline without demanding special care.

  • Dynamic transducer optimised for drums, percussion, wind instruments and guitar amplifiers
  • Patented AKG Varimotion diaphragm damps high resonance peaks for a controlled response
  • Custom-built capsule mounting reduces mechanical shock and handling noise
  • Spring steel wire-mesh cap resists impacts and returns to shape
  • Rugged all-metal body engineered for the demands of daily stage use

A dependable close mic for live events, touring, rehearsal, education, houses of worship and studio drum tracking.
