Audio-Technica Releases BP40 Large-Diaphragm Dynamic Broadcast Microphone

Audio-Technica has released the BP40 Large-Diaphragm Broadcast Microphone, a dynamic vocal microphone for broadcast applications. The mic’s hypercardioid polar pattern provides isolation of the desired sound source, and maximum off-axis rejection when working in close production environments. Its optimized capsule placement helps maintain solid vocal response, while the multistage windscreen provides internal pop filtering. It also includes a switchable 100 Hz high-pass filter to provide even more pop protection.
