Enjoy outstanding audio without having to worry about background noise: this microphone’s unique design produces consistent audio quality at a close range without annoying pops, and the integrated shock mount further minimizes noises, shocks, or vibrations. Delivering excellent vocal isolation, multiple AT2040 mics can be used in close proximity without issue, so hosting podcast interviews or collaborations will require minimal post-production editing. Setup is quick and easy, with the XLR output connecting to professional broadcast equipment or interfaces for Mac and PC. The dynamic design provides warm, rich, and professional-sounding vocals for content creators of all levels.

This microphone’s large diaphragm element delivers smooth, natural sound, no matter the application. The special internal multistage windscreen (made up of foam mesh and a nonwoven pop filter) and the hypercardioid polar pattern work together to make a tight, highly directional pickup that blocks out outside noises and makes a warm, classic sound. The AT2040 podcast microphone makes it easy to record single or dual vocals while in the same room, so even when using two mics to record two-person podcasts, users will enjoy great audio pickup.  So, whether you’re a beginner or a professional podcaster, the Audio-Technica AT2040 Hypercardioid Dynamic Podcast Microphone is a great option.
