Complete Podcasting Bundle
The Audio-Technica AT2040 Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphone Bundle supplies the microphone, a pivoting stand mount, threaded adapter, soft pouch, H&A tabletop stand, studio headphones and an XLR cable in one package. It is aimed at podcasters, streamers and voice-over artists who want a ready-to-record solution without sourcing separate accessories.
Hypercardioid Focus and Handling Limits
The hypercardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound, so vocals stay clear when the speaker works close to the capsule. Multiple units can sit near each other with minimal bleed, making interview setups practical. Very loud sources or distant placement will exceed the pattern’s rejection, so the microphone is not suited for capturing room ambience or high-SPL instruments without additional gain control.
Dynamic Operation and Connectivity
As a dynamic microphone the AT2040 requires no phantom power and connects through its integral 3-pin XLRM output to any standard interface or mixer. The built-in shock mount dampens handling vibration, while the included headphones allow direct monitoring with zero latency. The XLR cable carries a balanced signal, keeping noise low on typical desktop cable runs.

Questions about this item
Will the AT2040 hypercardioid dynamic microphone work with my existing audio interface or mixer?
The AT2040 has an integral 3-pin XLRM-type output connector, so it connects to any audio interface or mixer that provides an XLR input.
How can I verify the AT2040 is performing correctly after I set it up?
The hypercardioid polar pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the capsule while reducing background noise; speaking close to the front address should give clear, isolated vocals with minimal room sound.
What accessories are included in the bundle and what must I purchase separately?
The bundle supplies the AT2040 microphone, pivoting stand mount, threaded adapter, soft pouch, H&A tabletop stand, studio monitor headphones, and an XLR cable; you will still need an audio interface or mixer with an XLR input to use the microphone.
