Audio-Technica AT2040 Hypercardioid Dynamic Podcast Microphone
Product Overview
The Audio-Technica AT2040 is a hypercardioid dynamic XLR podcast microphone built for clear, focused voice capture in podcasting, streaming, and voiceover. Its highly directional hypercardioid pattern keeps the recording on the talker and rejects room noise, and an integrated shock mount and multistage windscreen control vibration and plosives. It suits broadcast studios, all-hands rooms, and content-creation spaces.
Product Description
The AT2040 delivers warm, broadcast-style vocal reproduction with a hypercardioid pattern that isolates the voice from background noise, which is ideal for untreated rooms. The dynamic element needs no phantom power.
A multistage windscreen with a nonwoven filter and high-quality foam mesh provides strong pop and hiss filtration, while the integrated shock mount prevents noise and vibration transmitted through tripods and boom arms. The microphone includes a stand clamp and pouch.
For a USB-equipped condenser alternative, the AT2020USB-X is a plug-and-play option.
