The Audio-Technica BP40 Large-Diaphragm Broadcast Microphone (BP40) is a dynamic broadcast microphone featuring patented floating-edge construction to maximize diaphragm surface area and a humbucking voice coil to prevent electromagnetic interference.

The Audio-Technica BP40 Large-Diaphragm Broadcast Microphone is a high-performance dynamic microphone designed for professional vocal applications. This microphone delivers a rich, natural, condenser-like sound ideal for broadcasting and studio environments. By combining a large-diaphragm design with advanced internal engineering, the BP40 ensures clear and articulate audio reproduction for any broadcast application.
The BP40 features a large-diameter diaphragm utilizing patented floating-edge construction. This design maximizes the surface area of the diaphragm to optimize overall performance and mechanical response.
The integrated humbucking voice coil prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI). This component ensures clean signal transmission by neutralizing noise from electronic equipment and power sources common in broadcast studios.
The hypercardioid polar pattern focuses on the primary sound source while providing superior off-axis rejection. This directional characteristic improves isolation and maximizes gain before feedback, ensuring the voice remains the central focus of the recording.
Optimized capsule placement allows the microphone to maintain a commanding vocal presence even when the speaker is at a distance from the unit. To maintain audio clarity, the multistage windscreen provides superior internal pop filtering to reduce plosives. A switchable 100 Hz high-pass filter offers additional protection against low-frequency noise and unwanted pops.
The BP40 features a rugged, all-metal construction built for dependable use in demanding professional environments. Its stylish, waveform-inspired design complements its technical capabilities, making it a durable and functional tool for professional broadcasters.
