Audio-Technica AT2040USB Microphone

Updated for modern podcasters, Twitch streamers, and content creators, the AT2040USB combines all the core features of the analog original — durable metal construction, highly directional hypercardioid pickup, integrated shockmount, and pop filter — with a digital USB-C output for high-resolution audio capture (up to 24-bit / 96 kHz).

Convenient onboard controls include:

• High-pass filter: easily removes low-frequency rumble from AC units or desk movement
• Mix control: blends your voice with audio tracks from your computer
• Soft-touch, capacitive mute button: quickly and silently mutes the mic when needed
