Audio-Technica AT2040 - Hypercardioid Dynamic Podcast XLR Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT2040 is a hypercardioid dynamic microphone with XLR output, built for close-up voice work such as podcasting, streaming, voiceover and content creation. Based on the BP40 broadcast microphone, it has a large diaphragm for smooth, natural sound.

Its tight hypercardioid pickup reduces external noise and lets several mics work close together for interviews. A multistage windscreen reduces pops and hiss, and an integrated shock mount cuts vibration and handling noise.

Key Features:

• Hypercardioid dynamic element with tight, directional pickup
• Large diaphragm based on the BP40 broadcast microphone
• Multistage windscreen (foam mesh and nonwoven filter) reduces pops
• Integrated shock mount reduces vibration and handling noise
• Several mics can be used close together for interviews
• XLR output for interfaces, mixers and broadcast gear
