Audio-Technica BP40 Large Diaphragm Broadcast MicrophoneThe BP40 broadcast vocal microphone offers a rich, natural, condenser-like sound from a large-diaphragm dynamic design. The diaphragm features patented floating-edge construction that maximizes surface area and optimizes overall performance, while the humbucking voice coil prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI). Audio-Technica optimized the capsule placement to help maintain a commanding vocal presence even at a distance, while the multistage windscreen provides superior internal pop filtering without the need of additional filters. The BP40 broadcast microphone also includes a switchable 100 Hz high-pass filter to provide even more pop protection.
