AKG D40 Dynamic Instrument Microphone

The AKG D40 dynamic instrument microphone can handle the demands of even the busiest stages.

The D40 dynamic instrument microphone is built to stand up to the demands of even the busiest of stages with an all-metal body that protects all the elements that make for excellent sound. Its cardioid polar pattern and integrated stand adapter make it well suited for drums, percussion, wind instruments, and guitar amps.

Part of the excellent sound quality in the D40 is its patented Varimotion diaphragm. This diaphragm uses a unique laminated material to damp high resonance peak, improving audio performance by leaps and bounds.

A key to instrument microphone applications – particularly drums, wind instruments, and guitar amps – is the ability to handle high sound pressure levels. The D40 instrument microphone can handle 147 dB SPL. This SPL handling is helped in part by transducer construction decisions: the transducer is protected by a sturdy wire-mesh cap.
