Audio-Technica AT4040 is an externally polarized condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern, designed for professional studio applications. It features a high-pass filter at 80Hz and a 10 dB pad.
I want to congratulate Sound Creation for the extremely competitive and REAL price they offer for this product.
You can convince yourselves.
The best price in ROMANIA.
I, for one, am convinced after browsing a ton of sites in Romania and abroad.
The microphone is exceptional. I already have one and I'm going to order another one.
This time from Sound Creation.
Don't be fooled by other brands (I won't name names) that charge astronomical prices for technology that's 40 years old. Or that raise the price just because it's hand-made, or because it's made in Germany or the USA.
In a blind test I conducted, using an AT4040 and a Neumann U 87, both going into an SPL Gold Mark Mark II preamp, I found that the person who was tested, not knowing which microphones they were hearing, couldn't say that one sounded better than the other. They noticed the tonal difference (pre eq given by the frequency curve, which can be adjusted however you want) but didn't feel any difference in sound quality.
