Audio-Technica AT4041 Specifications
AT4041
Cardioid Condenser End-Address Microphone
Features
• Specially engineered to meet the most critical acoustic
requirements of professional recording, broadcast and sound
reinforcement
• Smooth, extended frequency response with a slight rise occurring
in the high-frequency region
• Low-mass diaphragm improves transient response, increases
response bandwidth and reduces handling and mechanical noise
transfer
• Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency
distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed
transients
• Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides
and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
• Rugged turned-brass microphone housing for enduring
dependability
• Switchable 80Hz high-pass lter minimizes pickup of undesired
low-frequency sounds
• State-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure
compliance with A-T’s stringent consistency and reliability
standards

Operation and Maintenance
The AT4041 requires 48V phantom power for operation.
Output is low impedance (Lo-Z) balanced. The signal appears across Pins
2 and 3; Pin 1 is ground (shield). Output phase is “Pin 2 hot”— positive
acoustic pressure produces positive voltage at Pin 2.
To avoid phase cancellation and poor sound, all mic cables must be wired
consistently: Pin 1-to-Pin 1, etc.
An integral 80 Hz high-pass lter provides easy switching from a at
frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces
the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as trafc, air-handling
systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically coupled vibrations.
To engage the high-pass lter, slide the switch toward the “bent” line.
Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where
temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for extended periods. Extremely high
humidity should also be avoided.
Description
The AT4041 is a xed-charge condenser microphone with a cardioid polar
pattern. It is designed to meet the demands of critical studio and live
applications.
The microphone requires 48V phantom power for operation.
The cardioid polar pattern of the microphone is more sensitive to sound
originating directly in front of the element, making it useful for controlling
feedback and reducing pickup of unwanted sounds.
The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.
A switch permits choice of at response or low-frequency roll-off (via
integral 80 Hz high-pass lter) to help control undesired ambient noise.
The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. The included AT8405a
stand clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand with 5/8"-27
threads. A windscreen and a protective carrying case are also included.
