Large-diaphragm characteristics and fast transient response also make it ideal for recording acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, strings and saxophone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFour-Part Rectangular Element \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first of our design criteria for the AT5040 was purity of sound. To achieve this, Audio-Technica engineers developed a four-part rectangular element, the pinnacle of our recent breakthroughs in sound-capture technology. Four exquisitely matched ultra-thin diaphragms function together (with outputs proprietarily summed) as Audio-Technica’s largest-ever element, providing combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy using four diaphragms in a single capsule, the AT5040 delivers the benefits of an exceptionally large diaphragm--along with an extremely low noise floor--without increased weight, decreased transient response or other drawbacks that typically restrict diaphragm size. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother key AT5040 design feature is advanced internal shock mounting that effectively decouples the capsule from the microphone body. For additional isolation, each AT5040 is also provided with Audio-Technica’s innovative new AT8480 shock mount. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e100% Quality Control\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery AT5040 is hand assembled and individually inspected for 100% quality control. Each studio microphone is enclosed in an elegant housing of aluminum and brass with high-quality gray finish for durability and low reflectivity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscrete components have been selected for optimized capsule performance; in fact, every aspect of the microphone has been carefully considered to minimize any effects on the audio signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAudio-Technica’s premier studio condenser vocal microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely musical high-fidelity performance, with profound realism and depth, presence and purity of sound\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFour rectangular diaphragms (2 micron) function together as Audio-Technica’s largest-ever element, providing combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eExceptionally low noise and wide dynamic range ideal for studio vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete components carefully selected for optimized capsule performance\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-SPL capability and extended frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eHand assembled and inspected for 100% quality control\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced internal shock mounting decouples the capsule from the microphone body\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eElegant, durable housing of aluminum and brass\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded advanced-design custom AT8480 shock mount provides superior isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCustom hard-shell carrying case with die-cut foam compartments offers protection during storage and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003ctable\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eELEMENT\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eFixed-charge back plate,\u003cbr\u003epermanently polarized condenser\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003ePOLAR PATTERN\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eCardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eFREQUENCY RESPONSE\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e20 – 20,000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eOPEN CIRCUIT SENSITIVITY\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e–25 dB (56.2 mV) re 1V at 1 Pa\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eIMPEDANCE\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e50 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eMAXIMUM INPUT SOUND LEVEL\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e142 dB SPL, 1 kHz at 1% T.H.D.\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eNOISE\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e5 dB SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eDYNAMIC RANGE (typical)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e137 dB, 1 kHz at Max SPL\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eSIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e89 dB, 1 kHz at 1 Pa\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003ePHANTOM POWER REQUIREMENTS\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e48V DC, 3.8 mA typical\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e582 g (20.5 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eDIMENSIONS                                                                    \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e165.3 mm (6.51'') long,\u003cbr\u003e57.0 mm (2.24'') maximum body diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eOUTPUT CONNECTORS\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eIntegral 3-pin XLRM-type\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eACCESSORIES FURNISHED\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003eAT8480 shock mount for 5\/8\"-27 threaded stands;
