Review: Sturdy better quality than my toner condenser mic - I do like this mic its great to be able to make songs and not have any of the background noise, I have found a way to get noise cancelling on this mic and I had to play with the mixer a little bit to get it setup properly but let me tell you something, it's definitely a contender for the shure sm7b. Trust me it's definitely worth every penny.
Review: Great for podcasts - I podcast in my workshop where there is no acoustic dampening, so this dynamic mic sounds much better than the previous condenser mic I was using. It is well made, sounds great and looks great on camera.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this mic require a lot of gain??**
A: Since the sensitivity is -53dB, it will require more gain then a similarly priced condenser microphone, like the AT2020. However, because of the way this microphone is used (very close to the mouth), you should not have any issue with this, as long as you are using a reasonable quality microphone preamp/interface. If you have further questions, or would like information on any instant rebates that are available, please send a text message to 609-491-2844

**Q: How  can i attach this to my macbook air? what additional accessories would i need?**
A: I’d use it along with the scarlet solo as well as mic arm or stand and the cables as they are not provided

**Q: Does this order come with cables?**
A: No. Professional microphone generally do not come with a cable

**Q: Does it require phantom power?**
A: No, this is NOT a condenser mic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for amateur radio.
*by M***T on 26 October 2021*

The AT2040 is well built and a bargain XLR microphone, on air tests on ssb are very good. It's heavy so bare that in mind if you are mounting on a boom arm.
