Want Natural-sounding Recordings? Get 'Em!!
You're looking for a microphone with that "you get what you give it" magic. And not all mics have it. Some color you. And that's cool for some things, but if you sound hot already — might as well capture it naturally and honestly. That's where the Audio-Technica AT4040 comes in. With clean, clear pickup... the AT4040 is the kind of mic you'll want to put on EVERYTHING. Though, we recommend you check it out on vocals and acoustic guitar first. If you want to add color, stick a tube preamp in between the AT4040 and your interface. Whatever you do, you're going to be coming back to our site soon and asking for another one because the Audio-Technica made this one that good. Every studio needs an AT4040 in the mic locker. We said it. And we'll say it again.
