Purpose-built for podcasters and content creators on a limited budget, the
Audio-Technica AT2040 Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphone
benefits from A-T's decades of expertise in constructing trusted microphones for
the studio and stage. The AT2040 features a large-diaphragm dynamic capsule in a
classic end-address configuration, just like traditional broadcast-style mics
used by pros.
Not only does the mic deliver a warm, yet robust vocal tone, but
it also picks up minimal background noise and room reflections, thanks to its
hypercardioid polar pattern.
By incorporating an internal multistage pop filter, the AT2040 is able to reduce vocal plosives—popping sounds from strong consonants such as 'p' and 'b'—without relying on an external pop screen. Additionally, the integrated shockmount helps prevent noise from stand handling and other vibrations while keep the overall size down. Due to its XLR 3-pin output connector and low sensitivity, the AT2040 should be used with a mic preamp that can provide moderate to high gain. Being a dynamic mic, it requires no batteries or phantom power
Dynamic microphone delivers warm, assertive broadcast sound that’s perfect for
podcasting
Large diaphragm for smooth, natural sound and low noise
Multistage foam mesh windscreen provides superior internal pop filtering
Integrated shockmount attenuates noise, shock, and vibration transmitted
through mic stands, booms, and mounts
Hypercardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear
for maximum vocal isolation
XLR 3-pin male output connector
No batteries or phantom power required
Includes pivoting stand mount, 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 threaded adapter, and a soft
protective pouch
