Audio-Technica AT2040 Hypercardioid Dynamic Podcast Microphone

Description

The AT2040 dynamic mic offers professional-quality broadcast sound in an affordable package. Although designed for podcasting, the AT2040 can also be used for other content creation setups, such as live streaming, gaming, or doing voice-over work. This microphone’s large diaphragm element delivers smooth, natural sound, no matter the application.

The special internal multistage windscreen (combining foam mesh and a nonwoven pop filter) paired with the hypercardioid polar pattern results in highly directional, tight pickup that reduces external noises while producing 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 professional podcaster, the Audio-Technica AT2040 Hypercardioid Dynamic Podcast Microphone is a great option.

Jason ★★★★★

Picked this up mainly for vocal clarity in a noisy home office, and the hypercardioid pattern really does an impressive job rejecting room echo and keyboard clicks. Build feels solid with the all-metal body, and the sound is noticeably warmer and more focused than my old USB mic.

Richard W. ★★★★★

Surprised how much background noise this picks up from the sides—the hypercardioid pattern really does isolate my voice even with the AC running. Plugged it straight into my interface and the broadcast tone needed almost zero EQ.

Madison S. ★★★★★

I've been using it for a few weeks now, and the built-in shock mount does a great job of cutting out desk rumbles. The sound is warm and clear on my Zoom recordings, with almost zero room echo.
