    Product 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. Included Accessories: The AT2040 comes complete with a pivoting stand mount, 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 threaded adapter, and a soft protective pouch.

    Customers are satisfied with the sound quality of the microphone. They mention that it has a warm, close, FM radio/podcast echos sound right out of the box. The condenser can pick up any sound in their little room, and they always get compliments on the vocal quality of their recordings when using it. Noise is controlled very well, and the mic can be pretty quiet even with the gain turned on. Overall, customers describe it as an all-around great mic and a brilliant input for streaming or podcasts.

    Excellent microphone
    5 Stars
    Excellent microphone
    This mic is absolutely perfect for my needs. For reference I am a sporting event announcer that travels to different locations, states and events. Most of the events I do are in untreated rooms shared with other people. This mic does an excellent job of cancelling out background noise. I have a deep voice and this mic captures my voice exactly as I want. My only criticism is for the internal pop filter. It doesn’t really do much so I added an external pop filter. I run the mic through a mackie fxpro mixer. Gain at around 12 o’clock, mic level at around 2 o’clock and main output also around 12 o’clock. Love love love this mic. Much more so than the far more expensive competitors.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Calidad de sonido
    Reviewed in Mexico on June 17, 2022
    El micrófono se siente robusto y de muy buena construcción. Incluye unos adaptadores para las bases de micrófono que son de plástico, creo que eso fue lo único que consideré podría mejorar. Compré este micrófono específicamente para hacer grabaciones de voz desde casa y me ha ayudado mucho a limpiar el sonido ambiental, su respuesta en frecuencia es muy buena y al editar es muy poco lo que he tenido que corregir en ecualización.
    Aunque el nivel del micrófono no está mal, si noté que debo subir más el nivel del preamp de mi interfaz con respecto a otros micrófonos, así que estoy considerando adquirir un preamp para amplificar un poco la señal.
    Definitivamente buen micrófono si no tienes posibilidad de adquirir un shure SM7B este micrófono es su substituto a menor precio.
    Lo recomiendo.
