Audio-Technica AT2040 Hypercardioid Dynamic Podcast Microphone

Audio Technica broadcast quality at an affordable price. The AT2040 was created with podcasters and content creators in mind. The 2040's tight hypercardioid pickup pattern rejects sounds from the sides and rear putting the focus on your voice. This creates an intimate assertive sound with virtually no room noise.

An internal pop filter tames annoying plosives (hard consonants and pops) to deliver articulate speech during close-up use. Plus, you can mount the AT2040 on a boom or mic stand without worrying about noise transfer to the mic thanks to its integrated shock mount. Delivery includes a pivoting stand mount, a 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 threaded adapter, and a soft protective pouch.
