Professional Podcasting and Content Creation Microphone
The AT2040 is designed for the content creator: the bloggers, vloggers, podcasters and game streaming masters. At a pocket-friendly price, professional quality features include hypercardioid pattern for excellent directional voice isolation. This minimises background sound, hiss, pop and interference. 

If you’re recording with someone else, multiple AT2040 microphones can be set up without interference, isolating the voices of the individual speakers.

The AT2040 dynamic XLR microphone brings broadcast-quality, professional and crystal clear recording to podcasters, streamers, YouTubers and content creators alike.

Japanese Engineering with Creators in Mind
A combination of 21st century technology and over half a century of Japanese audio engineering, the AT2040 has been created to bring professional-level audio capturing to anyone looking to explore the world of sound recording. Whether it’s voiceovers, podcasting, streaming or any other type of content creation you can think of, the AT2040 dynamic XLR microphone is designed around you and your budget.

Rugged Build, Delicate Sound
The AT2040 is built with an all-metal construction and is designed to last. Alongside its rugged and transport-friendly body is a built-in, multi-stage windscreen and anti-vibration shock mount. This blend of tough construction and detailed design allows for the full experience of the Audio-Technica professional, signature sound. 

Based on the bestselling BP40 broadcast microphone, the AT2040 features a multistage windscreen with nonwoven filter and high-quality foam mesh that provides excellent pop and hiss filtration. The integrated shock mount prevents unwanted noise and vibration that can be passed through even the best tripods and boom arms.
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.

Why Choose a Dynamic Over a Condenser?
Dynamic Mic Characteristics

Minimizes room noise – perfect for sonically untreated rooms
Smooth audio capture with classic warm broadcast sound
Robust construction with no external power requirements
Condenser Mic Characteristics

Extremely sensitive – picks up the subtlest sounds in any environment
Very articulate audio with a detailed high-frequency capture
Requires external power to operate (phantom or battery)

How Does a Dynamic Mic Work?
Dynamic microphones use a diaphragm (1) connected to a coil of wire (2) that surrounds a magnet (3).

The diaphragm is moved by changing sound pressure. This moves the coil, which causes current to flow as it moves through the magnetic field. An electrical signal is then sent to your recording device or speakers which records or amplifies the audio.

Dynamic microphones are extremely durable and can handle very high sound pressure levels (SPL).
