Review: 湿気に強く、壊れにくいダイナミックマイク - 放送用マイクらしく、非常にクリアで厚みのある音質が特徴です。 中低音の再現が豊かで、声の存在感がしっかりと出ます。 ホワイトノイズが少なく、録音環境を整えなくても十分にきれいな音が録れました。 マイクの指向性はかなり狭く、周囲のノイズをしっかりカットしてくれるので、 キーボード音や環境音が入りにくいのもメリットです。 その一方で、マイクの位置がズレると音量が大きく変化するため、 固定用のアームやスタンドを併用するのがおすすめです。 外観もプロ用機材らしい質感で、重量感があります。 USBマイクとは違い、XLR接続が必要ですが、 オーディオインターフェイスと組み合わせることで真価を発揮します。 全体的に、配信・ナレーション・ボーカル録音など声を重視する用途に最適な1本です。 入門者から中級者まで、長く使えるマイクだと思います。 Review: クリアでノイズを拾いにくい - これまでオーディオテクニカのコンデンサーマイクを使っていたが、それでノイズリダクションを使うよりも断然このマイクのほうが背景ノイズなどは減った。音質ももっとこもった音になるかと思ったが、十分クリアな音で満足です。 ## Features - Adopts a hypercardioid pattern with narrower directionality than a single-point microphone.It is perfect for capturing human voices without capturing ambient noise, making it ideal for game commentary, video streaming, narration, and podcasting. - A shock mount is built in to prevent unwanted noise.Integrated shock mount attenuates noise, shock and vibration transmitted through mic stands and booms. - Built-in pop filter that enables clear audio recording.Adopts a windscreen that combines two types of materials with excellent acoustic characteristics.Because the pop noise is not a concern, you can record audio at a close distance to the microphone. - By combining a robust all-metal structure and studio-quality sound, it enhances the performance of creators streaming from their homes. - XLR output corresponds to a wide range of applicationsIt features XLR connector outputs, which can be used widely from audio interfaces and streaming mixers to professional mixing consoles. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09BFPNW2J | | Amazon Bestseller | #11 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #1 in Dynamic Microphones | | Antenna Location | Streaming | | Brand | Audio-Technica | | Built-In Media | Mounting Clamp (AT8487) Conversion Screw Pouch | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Audio Interface, Distribution Mixer, Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,206 Your Review | | External Testing Certification | Não Aplicável | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04961310155940 | | Hardware Platform | Laptop | | Item Dimensions | 25.7 x 25.4 x 11.2 cm | | Item Type Name | Dynamic Microphone | | Item Weight | 2.22 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Audio Technica(オーディオテクニカ) | | Mfr Part Number | AT 2040 | | Microphone Form Factor | Handheld | | Model Name | AT2040 | | Model Number | AT 2040 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Unknown batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Streaming | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 76 dB | | Special Feature | Stand | | Warranty Description | 1 year from date of purchase from authorized seller | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Audio-Technica - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Audio Interface, Distribution Mixer, Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** XLR - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Included Components:** Mounting Clamp (AT8487) Conversion Screw Pouch - **Model Name:** AT2040 - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Streaming - **Special Feature:** Stand ## Images ![AT2040 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jx4DitqgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## 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.
