Everything from mixing desks, audio interfaces, professional broadcasting equipment and more, the versatile connectivity means that no matter where you are recording, you can be ready to quickly and easily plug in and begin your broadcast without tedious, time-consuming setups.
Recording a podcast requires a near-silent studio environment to ensure that your voice is heard loud and clear throughout, with no distracting background or extraneous noises. Audio-Technica have thought of it all with the Hypercardioid AT2040 microphone, providing you with both an integrated shock mount and internal pop filter to produce the best results possible, no matter the recording environment!
The specially designed integrated shock mount has been expertly designed to reduce any vibrational noises that get transmitted through a microphone stand or boom arm if your desk is nudged or bumped. By decoupling your microphone to the surface it is attached to, you can experience clean and smooth recordings, free from distracting noises that take away the intimacy of your podcast recording and keep your listeners engaged.
Featuring a multi-stage foam mesh windscreen, the Audio-Technica AT2040 Podcast Microphone allows you to get up close and personal with your microphone without suffering the drawbacks of the proximity effect. Plosives are exponentially reduced, meaning your listeners won't have the displeasure of hearing loud and abrasive 'P's and 'B's, giving them a much more enjoyable listening experience. All of this is done without the need for any external pieces of equipment, simply plug in for incredible sound and performance.
The perfect solution for the modern podcaster, voice-over artist or single-host interviewer, the Audio-Technica AT2040 features a Hypercardioid polar pattern. This recording pattern provides an extremely focused sound by rejecting any undesirable off-axis background noise or interference. This becomes increasingly important when recording your broadcast in a less than desirable recording location where noisy computer fans or ambient noises are noticeably loud.
Offering pristine audio quality, the Audio-Technica AT2040 captures every detail and nuance of your voice thanks to the tailored frequency response of 80-16,000 Hz. Tuned to perfection, this allows you to capture the body and chest of your voice without the rumble and muddiness, whilst ensuring your voice is articulate without sounding too harsh or spikey. You can be sure that you will always sound your best with a smooth and balanced response that sounds natural and authentic to your listeners and viewers.
