Description

The AKG D40 is a dynamic instrument microphone engineered for versatility and durability, making it an excellent choice for live performances and studio recordings. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures focused sound capture, effectively minimizing background noise and reducing the risk of feedback in live settings. This design is particularly beneficial when working in environments with multiple sound sources, as it isolates the intended instrument from surrounding sounds.

One of the standout features of the D40 is its ability to handle high sound pressure levels, accommodating up to 156 dB without distortion. This capability makes it suitable for close-miking loud instruments such as drums, percussion, wind instruments, and guitar amplifiers. The microphone's rugged all-metal body and spring-steel wire-mesh cap provide durability, ensuring it withstands the rigors of regular stage use. Additionally, the integrated stand adapter and included H440 mounting bracket offer flexibility in positioning, allowing for easy attachment to drum rims or mic stands.
