    • Another solid Audio-Technica product
Style: Microphone
Having been podcasting with a variety of AT products in the past two years, I can honestly say that this mic is very good value for the money, with a few caveats. The at2040 is essentially a 1/4 of the cost of the BP40 but shares a similar look--since I'm never on video for my podcast, I don't really care about how the microphone looks. In terms of functionality, this mic doesn't require phantom power, which is neither here nor there, as I still require an audio interface to make the connection to the XLR cable work--and mine goes through a second-generation Scarlett Solo without a touch of feedback or hiss. Noise is controlled very well--there's no need for a pop filter although simply in terms of protecting the casing, you may want to use a foam head anyway, but if you unscrew the grate you'll find a pop-filter already included internally. I'm not sure how well it works for everybody else's voice but the at2040 rendered my vocals much more crisply and cleanly than the at2020. I will say that some post-production was definitely needed to add a boost to the final output (which is often the case for most mics anyway), but for podcasters, this is a very very good budget option for a dynamic mic that looks good and right out of the box helps to deliver a really nice, professional sound. (*Note* as of 9/19/21 I've ordered the Coda MB-1 to see if I can't get even better performance out of this mic, as I noted in a recent recording that at a very low level I could hear some audible hiss which may have been the fault of my laptop ports, but I will update this review if I see any difference is made) I've used the atr2100, the aforementioned at2020, and the Pro41 and this one beats them all. **NOTE** with the Coda MB-1 this mic is an amazing piece of hardware and a tremendous performer, and without it, it's still very good--but on my interface I was able to pot my gain down to 40% of max and get really clear results. ... show more

    • Outstanding
Style: Microphone
Unless you run a Joe Rogan podcast, you just donโ€™t need anything else. This microphone will pretty much anything you need it to do. I do a lot of vocal recording and instrument recording (trombone). It works astonishingly well for both. If you're scrolling through wondering if this is the microphone that will work for what you need, it is. It'll do whatever you need just fine. Just donโ€™t forget to get an interface to go along with it ... show more

    • It's $100 just buy it
Style: Microphone
I've been a videographer for over a decade and pivoted into a live-streaming roll during the pandemic, including a ton of corporate podcast recordings. This mic sounds great right out of the box, doesn't need phantom power, and performs as well as microphones 2-4x it's price. You will notice some plosives but this shouldn't be a deal breaker. Grab a foam windscreen and problem solved. Can't recommend this mic enough. That being said, if you're looking for a plug & play solution this is not it. You'll need an XLR audio interface. For better results, add a compressor to your signal chain. You can get all of these items & a boom arm for around the same price as just an SM7B and get pretty fantastic results. If you just want a plug in USB dynamic mic, check out Deity. ... show more

I really like this mic, quality far exceeds my expectations, built solid, like a brick, doesn't require as much gain as the Sure MV7 but sounds just as good for 1/2 the price, highly recommended
