AT4040 + K72

This bundle brings the AT4040 large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone together with AKG K72 closed-back studio headphones, covering both recording and monitoring for a project studio. The AT4040 uses externally polarized, transformerless circuitry for low self-noise and a wide dynamic range, with a switchable 80Hz high-pass filter and 10dB pad for close vocals or loud instruments. Its rugged housing and included AT8449 shock mount, dust cover, and case make it ready for daily studio use.

The K72 headphones pair 40mm drivers with a closed-back design that blocks outside sound and keeps the mix from leaking into a live mic, which matters when tracking and monitoring happen in the same room. A self-adjusting headband and replaceable leatherette ear pads keep long sessions comfortable, and the single-sided cable stays out of the way while playing or mixing. Suited to home studios, small project rooms, and anyone tracking vocals or instruments who needs a clean signal chain along with headphones that will not bleed into an open mic.
