The Coles 4040 is a studio ribbon microphone with an extended, flat frequency response suitable for capturing vocals and instruments with pristine transparency and detail.
The pressure gradient ribbon transducer is capable of withstanding high sound pressure levels without distortion and the bi-directional (figure 8) polar pattern provides a uniform pick up response at either side of the diaphragm.
The 4040 remains flat beyond 20kHz, while maintaining a uniform frequency response at the vertical and horizontal planes. The bi-directional pattern proves valuable when capturing multiple singers, musical instruments, ambiance capturing and more.
