Combining the broadcast-quality performance of the AT2040 dynamic podcast microphone with plug-and-play USB functionality makes this the ideal microphone for podcasters, streamers, and other content creators to achieve professional results.

Vocal Clarity

Hypercardioid polar pattern provides maximum vocal isolation for professional-quality sound.

Simple to Silence

A simple touch of the capacitive mute button immediately silences the microphone. The mic’s LED ring changes from blue to red indicating that the audio is muted.

Zero Latency Monitoring

A headphone jack with volume control allows you to monitor audio directly from the microphone, while the mix control allows you to blend your microphone signal with computer audio.

Clear Articulation

The AT2040USB’s multistage foam mesh windscreen includes a nonwoven filter to allow close-up use without annoying pops.

Quiet, Professional Performance

The mic features a specially designed, integrated shock mount that tames any noise, shock and vibration that might be transmitted through a mic stand, boom or mount. The low-cut filter eliminates low-frequency sound for additional reduction of vibration and surrounding environmental noise.
