AKG D40 User Instructions page 4

1 Description
H 440 bracket allows you to clamp the microphone directly on
the top hoop of a tom-tom, snare drum, roto-tom, etc. The fre-
quency independent cardioid pickup pattern of the D 40 en-
sures high gain before feedback. The D 40 is fitted with a shock
absorbing inner grille that protects the transducer against dam-
age. The heavy-duty metal body and wire-mesh outer grille pro-
vide additional protection for the transducer system. The outer
grille and a layer of special fabric beneath it form a very effec-
tive windscreen that will suppress blowing and wind noise on
open-air stages.
