The AT2040 excels in delivering excellent vocal isolation, allowing multiple microphones to be used in close proximity without interference, making it ideal for podcast interviews or collaborative projects with minimal post-production editing.
The setup is straightforward with its XLR output, which seamlessly connects to professional broadcast equipment or interfaces compatible with both Mac and PC systems. This dynamic microphone is engineered to provide warm, rich, and professional-sounding vocals, catering to content creators of all experience levels. While it shines in podcasting, the AT2040 is versatile enough for live streaming, gaming, and voice-over work. Its large diaphragm element ensures smooth, natural sound across various applications. The microphone's hypercardioid polar pattern and special internal multistage windscreen, which combines foam mesh with a nonwoven pop filter, deliver highly directional and tight pickup.
This design significantly reduces external noise while producing a warm, classic sound, making it easy to record single or dual vocals in the same room. Even when using two microphones for two-person podcasts, users will experience exceptional audio pickup. Included in this bundle are essential accessories to enhance your setup: a pivoting stand mount, a 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 threaded adapter, and a soft protective pouch. The AT2040's hypercardioid polar pattern ensures maximum vocal isolation for professional-quality sound, while the internal pop filter allows for clean articulation during close-up use. The integrated shock mount guarantees quiet, professional performance by taming any noise, shock, or vibration transmitted through a mic stand, boom, or mount.
