Audio-Technica AT4041
The AT4041 is a small-diaphragm cardioid electret condenser engineered to meet the critical requirements of professional recording, broadcast, and live sound. Its fast, accurate response makes it a natural on drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and other detailed instruments. The cardioid pattern isolates the source and rejects bleed from a busy stage or tracking room.
Low self-noise keeps quiet passages clean, and high SPL handling keeps it composed on loud sources. Covering 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, it runs on 48V phantom power over a 3-pin XLR output. It is a dependable, transparent small-diaphragm option for studios and installs that want accuracy without coloration.
