SKU CH-NWRJ-QY8V3

  • Cardioid pattern rejects off-axis sound for focused recordings
  • 12 dB SPL self-noise keeps quiet passages clean
  • 133 dB dynamic range handles whispers to loud instruments
  • 80 Hz high-pass filter cuts rumble and pop sounds
  • Bundle adds isolation filter, headphones, 15' XLR cable and pop blocker

What this bundle delivers

The Audio-Technica AT4040 side-address cardioid condenser microphone ships new in a complete recording package. It includes a shock mount, dust cover, carrying case, desktop isolation filter, studio monitor headphones, a 15-foot XLR male-to-female cable and a pop blocker. The microphone itself is a large-diaphragm capacitor design built for professional vocal and instrument capture.

Who this suits and who it does not

The cardioid polar pattern and 12 dB SPL self-noise make this kit a strong match for home-studio owners recording solo vocals, acoustic guitars or piano in treated rooms. The integrated 80 Hz high-pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble and popping on close-miked sources. Buyers who need multi-pattern flexibility for ensemble recording, or who lack an audio interface with phantom power, will not be able to use the microphone.

The specification that decides fit

A 133 dB dynamic range paired with a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response means the AT4040 captures very quiet passages and loud transients without distortion. If your work demands that breadth of headroom for dynamic singers or percussive instruments, this condenser meets the requirement; if your signal chain cannot supply the necessary phantom voltage, the capsule will remain inactive.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the AT4040 as a standalone mic or the bundle with isolation filter, headphones and cable?

The bundle adds a desktop isolation filter, studio monitor headphones, a 15 ft XLR cable and a pop blocker to the microphone, shock mount, dust cover and case.

What does the 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response mean for my recordings?

It captures the full audible range from deep lows to crisp highs, reproducing vocals and instruments with natural balance.

How does the XLR connection limit what I can plug the AT4040 into?

The microphone uses a standard 3-pin XLR output, so it requires an audio interface, mixer or recorder with an XLR input and phantom power.
