Description
The AKG D40 is a dynamic instrument microphone for drums, percussion, wind instruments and guitar amps. Its all-metal body and sturdy wire-mesh cap stand up to nightly stage use, and it handles very high sound pressure levels.
The Varimotion diaphragm uses a laminated material that damps resonance peaks. An integrated stand adapter swivels through about 135 degrees, and the included H440 bracket clamps the microphone straight onto the hoop of a tom or snare.
