AKG Acoustics D 40
Cardioid Dynamic Microphone
AKG’s D 40 is a compact dynamic mic for drums, percussion, wind instruments and guitar amps. The mic has a cardioid polar pattern and uses AKG’s Varimotion multiple-thickness diaphragm.
Although nominally Cardioid, the mic’s polar pattern tends toward a wide cardioid profile, without a distinct 180° null point.
The mic ships with the H 440 Drum rim mount and a storage pouch.

the AKG D 40 microphone… will become your jack-of-all-instrument mic with its wide frequency range good enough for condenser mic comparisons, but capable of taking some high-SPL percussion applications as well. Its short profile and built-in stand clip are beautiful engineering, and the added H 440 rim bracket is icing on the cake. For what it is, I found no flaws, only strengths.
The AKG D 40 is not to be confused with the D 40 S, an entry-level handheld dynamic vocal microphone.
The AKG Acoustics D 40 is also known as: D40.
