Audio Technica AT4040 Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Shockmount

The Audio Technica AT4040 is designed for professional recording and critical applications in broadcast and live sound. The technically advanced large diaphragm is tensioned specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics. Feature:
I like the fact that it has a high pass 80hz filter and a -10db rolloff. Neither of these are offered on the Neumann TLM103 and Rode NTK,which incidentally cost more !

Sound:
This mic sounds terrific on vocals when used in conjunction with a Blue Robbie Mic Preamp,with or without compression. I've compared it to other microphones in my arsenal and it basically outperforms them. Some of my other mics are :A Neumann TLM103,A Rode K2 and Rode NTK,and AKG C414. The Audio Technica At4040 has a better,balanced overall sound on most sources. I think it's because of it's 2mm thick capsule membrane which is a new design from AT.
