Audio-Technica AT2040 Dynamic Microphone, Supercardioid, XLR, Built-in Pop Filter, for Podcasts, Audiobooks, Game Commentary, Video Streaming, Black

Employing a hypercardioid polar pattern, which narrows the directivity even further than a unidirectional pattern, this microphone is ideal for capturing human voices in applications such as game commentary, video streaming, narration, and podcasting, as it picks up ambient noise and captures the intended sound.

It features an integrated shock mount that prevents unwanted noise from being picked up. The shock mount built into the main body suppresses vibrations transmitted from the microphone stand or boom arm when recording on a desk.

It has a built-in pop filter for clear sound capture. It uses a windscreen that combines two types of materials with excellent acoustic properties. Because pop noise is not noticeable, recording at close distances to the microphone is possible.

Its robust all-metal construction and studio-quality sound enhance the performance of creators streaming from home.

It features a wide-ranging XLR output. It uses an XLR connector output that can be used with a wide range of devices, from audio interfaces and streaming mixers to professional mixing consoles.
