With directivity equal to mics up to 50% longer, the AT4071a has been specially created to meet the critical long-distance pickup demands of broadcasting, film/TV sound, professional recording, wildlife recording and theater sound reinforcement. It is particularly useful for miking dynamic action in film/TV audio as well as in “spot” miking techniques in the music studio or theater. The mic provides extremely high output and a noise floor that is hardly measurable, much less audible. It may be used with confidence in distant miking applications and even under the stringent demands of modern digital recording systems. Audio-Technica has pioneered a unique interference tube design* in the AT4071a and AT4073a shotgun mics that provides the same directivity as mics up to 50 percent longer.Specifications:Element: Externally polarized (DC bias) condenserPolar Pattern: Line + gradientFrequency Response: 30-20,000 HzLow Frequency Roll-Off: 150 Hz, 12 dB/octaveOpen Circuit Sensitivity: -21 dB (89.1 mV) re 1V at 1 PaImpedance: 100 ohmsMaximum Input Sound Level: 124 dB SPL, 1 kHz at 1% T.H.D.Noise: 12 dB SPLDynamic Range (typical): 112 dB, 1 kHz at Max SPLSignal-To-Noise Ratio: 82 dB, 1 kHz at 1 PaPhantom Power Requirements: 11-52V DC, 3.2 mA typicalSwitch: Flat, roll-offWeight: 5.5 oz (155 g)Dimensions: 15.55" (395.0 mm) long, 0.83" (21.0 mm) diameterOutput Connector: Integral 3-pin XLRM-type

The AT5040 Studio Vocal Microphone by Audio-Technica marks the debut of their flagship 50 Series of microphones. In addition to vocals, its fast transient response make it ideal for acoustic instruments. Each AT5040 is hand-assembled and individually inspected to ensure the finest quality audio capture.The AT5040 employs a four-part rectangular element to provide purity of sound. Each of the four parts function together and get proprietarily summed to output. This provides a surface area twice the size of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm. Additionally, the AT5040 features an advanced internal shockmounting system, effectively decoupling the capsule from the housing for vibration-free performance.The Audio-Technica AT5040's frequency response chart reflects the company's claim of an "extremely smooth top end with controlled sibilance." A dip of approximately 3dB occurs between 4.5kHz and 8.5kHz, a prime "s" location. The microphone's reactivity slowly tapers after the 10kHz mark. An approximate 2 to 3dB boost in response below 80Hz could create a pleasant promiximity effect on a male vocalist, then rolled off to taste in mixing.Specifications:Element Type: Fixed-charge back plate, permanently polarized condenser Polar Pattern: Cardioid Frequency Response: 20 to 20,000 Hz Open Circuit Sensitivity: -25 dB (56.2 mV) re 1V at 1 Pa Impedance: 50Ω Maximum Input Level: 142 dB SPL, 1 kHz at 1% T.H.D.
