Audio-Technica BP40 Dynamic Broadcast Microphone

The Audio-Technica BP40 is a microphone built for broadcast, podcasting, and voice-over work, offering a full vocal tone that feels natural and engaging right out of the box. It connects through a standard XLR jack, so it slips easily into professional consoles, audio interfaces, or a simple desktop mixer.

Inside, the BP40 uses a large diaphragm held in Audio-Technica’s patented floating-edge frame. This construction maximizes the diaphragm’s surface area and lets it move with added freedom, capturing the detail and clarity people often expect from a condenser without asking you to provide external power.

A humbucking voice coil sits at the heart of the capsule and rejects electromagnetic interference that can creep in from computer monitors, lighting rigs, and power supplies. When you need extra protection against low-frequency rumble or plosives, a switchable 100 Hz high-pass filter is ready to help. The built-in multistage windscreen further smooths out breath noise, so many users choose to record without a separate pop filter.

The body is machined from metal that feels solid in the hand and stands up to daily studio use, while the grille follows a waveform-inspired pattern that looks right at home on camera. Mount it on a boom arm in a radio booth, a desktop stand in your home studio, or a shock mount above a voice-over script; wherever you place it, the BP40 delivers consistent, broadcast-ready sound.
