The Coles 4040 Ribbon Microphone gives you a bold look, greater output, and a wider frequency response and perfect compliment to any microphone locker.
The Coles 4040 is first ribbon microphone that Coles have developed using the very latest magnet technology. The frequency response of the Coles 4038 is exceptionally flat from 30 to 15,000 c/s but where the 4038 starts to drop off, the 4040 carries on past 20,000 c/s and throughout this range, like the 4038, the shape of the bi-directional (figure of eight) polar response is maintained substantially constant both in the horizontal and vertical planes, giving a natural smooth sonic quality textured response to sound signal being picked up. There is also no discernible stray magnetic field, making it very easy to mount head to head in a "Blumlein" (crossed figure-of-eights) stereo configuration.The Coles 4040 retains some essential features of the iconic Coles 4038 with some added enhancement in performance, cosmetics and physical construction. The Coles 4040 gives you a bit of extra lift in the top end to where the the 4038 drops off at 15k. You will definitely find you can utilize the Coles 4040 on a nice variety of both vocal and instrument miking applications.
The Coles 4040 comes complete with internal shockmount that can be secured for transit, an adjustable, universal stand mount and a hard case for storage.
