Description

The Audio‑Technica AT2040USB is a professional‑grade dynamic hypercardioid USB microphone built for podcasters, streamers, voice‑over artists, content creators, and broadcasters who want polished, studio‑style audio with minimal setup. Its hypercardioid pickup pattern provides tight, focused vocal capture — isolating your voice from ambient noise, room reflections, and background sounds.

Built into a rugged metal body, the AT2040USB includes an integrated shock mount and multistage foam‑mesh windscreen (with nonwoven filter) to suppress handling noise, bumps, and plosives — ideal for close‑up talking or recording. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} Onboard you’ll find a built‑in headphone output for zero‑latency monitoring, volume and mix controls for balancing mic and system audio, a soft-touch mute button with LED indicator for quick silencing, and a switchable low‑cut filter to reduce unwanted low-frequency rumble or vibration.

With its plug‑and‑play USB‑C connection and high-resolution 16‑ or 24‑bit / up to 96 kHz AD converter, the AT2040USB delivers clear, natural, broadcast-quality sound directly to your computer — no interface required.
