Audio-Technica AT2040 Hypercardioid Dynamic Podcast Microphone

Taking cues from our BP40 broadcast microphone, the rugged AT2040 dynamic microphone from Audio-Technica brings professional broadcast-quality sound and style to podcasters and other content creators at an accessible price. The mic’s multistage windscreen combines a nonwoven filter with foam mesh to provide superior internal pop filtering, while its integrated shock mount prevents unwanted noise by attenuating vibration from a boom arm or mic stand. The highly directional pickup (hypercardioid) keeps the sound focused on your voice and helps to minimize unwanted room noise, ensuring professional-quality broadcasts.

Integrated Shockmount

The mic features a specially designed, integrated shockmount that tames any noise, shock, and vibration that might be transmitted through a mic stand, boom, or mount.

Internal Pop Filter

The AT2040's multistage foam mesh windscreen includes a nonwoven filter to allow close-up use without annoying pops.

Highly Directional Pickup

The hypercardioid polar pattern provides maximum vocal isolation for professional-quality sound with minimal background noise and room reflections.
