• Exceptionally low noise and wide dynamic range ideal for studio vocals
• Discrete components carefully selected for optimized capsule performance
• High-SPL capability and extended frequency response
• Hand assembled and inspected for 100% quality control
• Elegant, durable housing of aluminum and brass

“A Milestone In Condenser Design”

Four-part rectangular elementExclusively for the AT5040, Audio-Technica engineers developed a four-part rectangular element, the pinnacle of our recent breakthroughs in sound-capture technology.

“Audio-Technica’s largest-ever element”

By 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 or decreased transient response.
