Standing out for its exceptional quality, the AT2040USB podcast mic is a highly directional hypercardioid pickup pattern. This feature effectively eliminates common ambient noise, such as the humming sound of a computer fan. With a narrower pickup angle compared to a cardioid design, the AT2040USB provides precise vocal capture, making it perfect and highly efficient for creators and gamers who stream and engage in conversations with their followers.

In addition, the AT2040USB microphone features a durable metal body that incorporates an integrated shock mount. This built-in shock mount effectively reduces unwanted noise and vibration. Additionally, the microphone includes an internal pop filter to safeguard against harsh spoken sounds. Users also have the option to purchase the AT8458a shock mount separately for enhanced cancellation of noise, shock, and vibration that may be transmitted through a microphone stand, boom, or mount.

Key Features:

• Highly Directional Voice Capture - The hypercardioid polar pattern ensures optimal vocal isolation, resulting in a professional-quality sound. Making it the ideal choice for artists and content creators looking to take their production to new heights.
• Mute Button - Silencing the microphone is as easy as a touch on the capacitive mute button. When muted, the microphone's LED ring transitions from blue to red, providing a clear visual indication of the muted audio.
• Zero Latency - With a headphone jack equipped with volume control, you can conveniently monitor audio directly from the microphone. Additionally, the mix control feature enables you to blend your microphone signal with computer audio, giving you flexibility and control over your audio monitoring experience.
• Clean Articulation - The AT2040USB microphone comes with a multistage foam mesh windscreen that incorporates a nonwoven filter. This design allows for close-up use of the microphone without the inconvenience of bothersome pops or plosive sounds.
