    Koss KSC75 Speaker
    Plenty of volume with a crisp, clean sound.
    Sports Clip Design

    A lot of people don't like the full headband on many earphones, but also can't handle earbuds. The KSC75 is a great alternative, with a "sport clip" design that fits neatly--and comfortably--around each ear. Pivoting earplates help provide a better fit than most clips. Soft foam ear cushions guarantee help ensure that you get great sound but aren't entirely disconnected from your surroundings.

A two-millimeter titanium diaphragm coating increases rigidity, which means less distortion and therefore more accurate sound reproduction. Neodymium magnets help deliver greater volume, even with low-voltage portable devices, and oxygen-free copper voice coils improve signal transmission and conduction for cleaner, clearer sound.

    Ultra-Portable

    Perfect for travel, the KSC75s include a straight, dual-entry four-foot cord, and an L-shaped gold-flashed 3.5mm (1/8") plug. No need to fold them up when traveling--nothing to fold!

    Audio Technica AT4040 Condenser Microphone

    Audio Technica AT4040 Condenser Microphone Review



    Audio Technica AT4040 Condenser Microphone Feature

    • Designed for professional recording and critical applications in broadcast and live sound
    • Externally-polarized (DC bias) true condenser design
    • Large diaphragm tensioned specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics
    • Exceptionally low noise, wide dynamic range and high-SPL capability for greatest versatility
    • Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion
    The Audio Technica AT4040 Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone is a versatile large-diaphragm mic that features a true condenser design which is externally polarized and utilizes Audio-Technica's latest transducer technology with state-of-the-art surface-mount electronics and transformerless circuitry. Audio-Technica's engineering team developed an entirely new large-diaphragm element for the AT4040, designed specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics with a wide dynamic range and the ability to handle extremely high SPL's. The AT4040 has a cardioid polar pattern and utilizes an aged, vapor-deposited-gold large-diaphragm capacitor element. A nickel-plated brass element baffle has been precision-machined to provide enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity. An open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections. In addition, the AT4040's two-micron-thick diaphragm provides accurate reproduction of even the subtlest sounds without sacrificing high-frequency performance. The AT4040 features an extended flat frequency response (20-20,000 Hz), a wide dynamic range (133 dB, 1 kHz at max SPL), and can handle high SPL's (up to 145 dB, 1 kHz at 1% T.H.D., 155 dB with 10 dB pad). The AT4040's distinctive transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion and retains the ability to deliver high-speed transients. The AT4040 requires 48V phantom power and has a switchable low-frequency roll-off (at 80 Hz, 12 dB/octave). In addition, a heavy-duty Audio-Technica AT8449 shock mount is included to provide mechanical isolation and secure mounting, as is a dust cover and protective microphone carrying case. Audio Technica AT4040 Features Designed for professional recording and critical applications in broadcast and live sound Externally-polarized (DC bias) true condenser design Technically-advanced large diaphragm tensioned specifically to provide smooth, natural sonic characteristics
