Internal Pop Filter

The AT2040’s multistage foam mesh windscreen includes a nonwoven filter to allow close-up use without annoying pops and thereby giving a clean articulation.

Integrated Shock Mount

The mic features a specially designed, integrated shock mount that tames any noise, shock and vibration that might be transmitted through a mic stand, boom or mount.

Dynamic Mic

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.
