  UNSURPASSED BRITISH SOUND! 
These 4038 microphones are a part of a huge trend back to ribbon microphones. The 4038, developed in the 1950's and legendary since the days of the recordings by the Beatles at London EMI Abbey Road Studios, are famous for their fantastic sound & projection of horns, guitars - electric & acoustic - as overheads on drums 'to catch the air' etc... Huge sound! The fattest guitars! All smooth, clear, punchy and sonically warm!<>Malcolm Addey, one of the top engineers at London's Abbey Road Studios from early on (today working in New York) says in the book THAT SOUND! (Quote) >I didn't use the U47 very often on amplifiers after mid 1962. I used the 4038 instead!< *More details > see Internet reviews/forums etc. ***SPECS DOWN BELOW **********<><><>

The 4038 has a proven reliable performance capability, being since its introduction, used by broadcasting networks throughout the world such as the BBC.The frequency response of the 4038 is exceptionally flat from 30 to 15,000 c/s and throughout this range 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.Studio microphones have now achieved a remarkable fidelity of reproduction. If the microphone is not close to perfection, there is no point in having expensive systems to take the sound the rest of the way to the audience's ears.In the world of sound, the BBC has always been the leader, and is still regarded as the 'setter of standards'.
