The Audio-Technica AT4041 is a small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone engineered for critical studio, broadcast and live-sound applications. Its smooth, extended frequency response with a slight high-frequency rise and transformerless output deliver very high SPL-handling capability with virtually no low-frequency distortion. Housed in turned brass with black chrome plating for durability and low reflectivity, the AT4041 is ideal for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, brass and under-snare placement.
