The AUDIO-TECHNICA AT2040 is a dynamic XLR microphone that provides radio studio quality, professional and crystal clear recording for podcasters, streamers, YouTubers and content creators.

Based on the successful BP40 broadcast microphone, the AT2040 has a multi-stage windscreen with a non-woven filter and high-quality foam mesh for excellent pop and hiss filtering. The built-in shock absorber prevents unwanted noise and vibration from penetrating even the best microphone stands and boom arms.

The unique design of this microphone provides consistent sound quality up close without annoying bounces, and the built-in shock absorber further minimizes noise, shock or vibration.

Thanks to the excellent sound isolation, several AT2040 microphones can be used in close proximity without any problems, so podcast interviews or collaborations require minimal post-editing. Setup is quick and easy by connecting the XLR output to professional broadcast equipment or Mac and PC interfaces. The dynamic design provides warm, detailed and professional sound for content creators of all levels.

The AT2040 dynamic microphone offers professional broadcast quality sound in an affordable package. Although the AT2040 is designed for podcasting, it can also be used in other content creation settings such as live streaming, gaming or voiceover.

The microphone's large diaphragm capsule provides consistent, natural sound regardless of the application. The special built-in multi-stage windshield (a combination of foam mesh and a non-woven pop filter) combined with the hypercardioid polar pattern results in a highly directional, compact pickup that reduces external noise while producing a warm, classic sound. The AT2040 podcast microphone makes it easy to record one or two voices in the same room, so users can enjoy great audio even when using two microphones to record two-person podcasts.
