Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The AT2040 is a surprisingly capable broadcast mic for the price. Its dynamic nature and tight pattern make it ideal for podcasters, streamers, or voice-over artists in less-than-perfect acoustic environments – just be mindful of mic placement. It won’t replace a high-end studio condenser, but it's a solid, reliable workhorse.
