Hypercardioid Dynamic USB Microphone AT2040USB
Overview – AT2040USB
The AT2040USB is an ideal microphone for creators, offering excellent voice capture and convenient USB functionality. It combines the broadcast-quality performance of the AT2040 dynamic podcast microphone with plug-and-play ease, making it perfect for podcasters, streamers, and content creators seeking professional results.
When live streaming, the AT2040USB ensures outstanding sound quality, complementing interesting content and high-quality video. With its natural frequency response, rich lows, and crystal-clear studio sound, YouTubers can enhance their viewership and streamers can achieve a professional edge.
This dynamic microphone features a highly directional, hypercardioid pickup pattern that effectively eliminates common ambient noise, such as computer fan hum. Its narrow pickup angle provides focused vocal capture, catering to creators and gamers who engage with their followers through streaming and chat.
The microphone’s robust metal body includes an integrated shock mount to minimise unwanted noise and vibration, while the internal pop filter protects against harsh spoken sounds. Users can further enhance noise cancellation by purchasing the AT8458a shock mount separately, ensuring a clean audio signal.
Equipped with a built-in headphone jack for real-time audio monitoring, the AT2040USB allows for immediate feedback without delay. The quick muting function, activated by the touch-sensitive capacitive mute button, enables seamless audio control. The two-state LED indicator ring displays a blue light when the microphone is on and ready to capture audio, and turns red when muted.
With a USB Type-C output, the AT2040USB offers plug-and-play functionality, complete with a USB cable (USB Type-C to USB Type-A) and USB adapter (USB Type-A to USB Type-C). Connect the microphone directly to your computer for instant use, eliminating audio interference and the need for extra cables. Whether you’re streaming on Twitch, creating content for YouTube, or engaging in online chats, the AT2040USB is a versatile choice for all kinds of content creation.
