Description
The AT2040 borrows its design DNA from Audio-Technica’s BP40 broadcast microphone, then trims the cost so podcasters and content creators can get that same on-air sound without commercial-broadcast pricing. It’s a straightforward dynamic capsule with a large diaphragm, which gives you a warm, forward vocal presence and keeps self-noise low even in untreated rooms.
- Hypercardioid pickup pattern narrows the sweet spot around your mouth, rejecting sound from the sides and rear so keyboards, fans, and roommates stay out of the take
- Built-in multistage windscreen layers a non-woven filter over foam mesh, cutting plosives and breath pops without an external pop filter
- Integrated shockmount isolates the capsule from handling noise and vibration coming up through a boom arm, stand, or desk mount
- Large-diaphragm dynamic design favors natural tonal balance and consistent output over long recording sessions
Specs: hypercardioid dynamic element, 80-16,000 Hz frequency response, -53 dB (2.2 mV) sensitivity, 600 ohm impedance, 21.7 oz., 5.72″ long with a 2.05″ max body diameter, integral 3-pin XLR-M output. Ships with an AT8487 mounting clamp, 5/8″-27 to 3/8″-16 threaded adapter, and a carrying pouch — everything needed to get it on a stand and rolling.
Whether it’s a weekly podcast, streamed commentary, or voiceover work, the AT2040 gives you a mic that sounds like it belongs on a real broadcast desk, at a price that fits a home setup.
