A Reliable Classic, with a Touch of Innovation.

Additional features inherited from the initial AT2040 model consist of the built-in, multi-stage foam mesh windscreen, safeguarding your audio from disruptive plosives, and the incorporated shock mount that effectively reduces handling noise, impacts, and vibrations transferred through the microphone stand, boom arm, or mount.

The AT2040USB is specifically designed for content creators and podcasters. It comes with a convenient built-in 3.5mm headphone jack, allowing for direct and low-latency monitoring of your streams. With its high-output amplifier, it can deliver up to 77mW of output at 32 ohms, making it suitable for driving demanding headphones. Additionally, the microphone features a headphone volume control on its rear, enabling you to easily adjust the levels and achieve the perfect streaming experience.

Numerous Onboard Controls

The AT2040USB microphone prioritizes hands-on control. In addition to the previously mentioned headphone volume adjustment, this microphone also features:

• Capacitive touch control with LED indicator for the mute function, allowing you to mute your mic quickly and silently during a stream
  
  
• Switchable high-pass filter at 80 Hz, 18 dB/octave to eliminate rumbles

High-Fidelity Digital Conversion

Instead of providing basic digital specifications, Audio-Technica has designed the AT2040USB with a forward-looking approach.
