Audio-Technica BP40 Large-Diaphragm Dynamic Broadcast Microphone

Made for broadcast and podcast voices, the Audio-Technica BP40 is a large-diaphragm dynamic microphone with a hypercardioid pattern and a rich, natural, condenser-like sound.

Its large diaphragm uses patented floating-edge construction, which maximizes the diaphragm’s surface area, and a humbucking voice coil prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI). The capsule’s placement keeps the voice present even at a distance.

A multistage windscreen gives internal pop filtering, and a switchable 100 Hz high-pass filter adds more pop protection. The hypercardioid pattern improves isolation, and its off-axis rejection gives maximum gain before feedback. An internal shock mount sits inside the rugged, all-metal housing.

The BP40 connects through an integral 3-pin XLR connector. The AT8483 mounting clamp, a thread adapter, and a soft protective pouch come in the box, and the AT8484 shock mount, sold separately, further reduces shock and vibration from stands, booms, and mounts.
