Taking cues from the BP40 broadcast microphone, the rugged AT2040 dynamic microphone from Audio-Technica brings professional, broadcast-quality sound and style to podcasters and other content creators at an accessible price. The mic’s multistage windscreen combines a non-woven filter with foam mesh to provide superior internal pop filtering, while its integrated shockmount prevents unwanted noise by attenuating vibration from a boom arm or mic stand. The highly directional pickup (hypercardioid) keeps the sound focused on your voice and helps minimize unwanted room noise.

    The noise rejection on this microphone is immaculate; and the sound quality blew my mind as soon as I heard it. It's perfect for pop and hiphop vocals, which is what I primarily use it for. In fact, I actually prefer this microphone over the AT2020.
