The Product

The AKG D40 is a dynamic drum and instrument microphone with a robust solid all-metal body designed to stand up to the hardships of night-after-night onstage use. The Varimotion diaphragm deep-drawing process employed by AKG allows the diaphragm to be fine-tuned with no need for tuning resonators, leading to a quantum leap in audio performance. The transducer has been protected by a sturdy wire-mesh cap and can handle extremely high sound pressure levels with ease. An integrated stand adapter and standard H 440 mounting bracket for snare drums, tom-toms and a variety of other instruments make the D40 a highly versatile tool.

The Manufacturer

AKG was founded in 1947 by Dr Rudolf Goerike and Ernst Pless and within months their beautifully hand built microphones were being used in radio stations, theatres and jazz clubs. Within two years AKG produced their first pair of headphones, which were quickly followed by other innovative products such as the worlds first high quality condenser microphone. One of the first customers to acquire the famous C12 microphone was the BBC in London. Today millions of discerning professionals rely upon this solid and dependable brand.
