Audio-Technica AT2040USB Hypercardioid Dynamic USB Microphone

Taking cues from the renowned BP40 professional broadcast microphone, the new AT2040USB microphone features a dynamic design for excellent voice capture with added USB functionality. 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. Ensuring a natural frequency response with rich, powerful lows and crystal-clear studio sound, this dynamic microphone also touts its quality with a highly directional, hypercardioid pick up pattern that helps eliminate common ambient noise, like the hum of a computer fan. With a narrower pickup angle than a cardioid design, the AT2040USB provides focused vocal capture, which is ideal and super effective for creators and gamers who stream and chat with followers. Additionally, the microphone¡¯s robust metal body includes an integrated shock mount to minimize unwanted noise and vibration, while its internal pop filter protects against harsh spoken sounds. The AT2040USB is equipped with a built-in headphone jack for real-time audio monitoring with no delay. It also features a quick muting function, with the silent touch-sensitive capacitive mute button to quickly and easily mute audio at the microphone. A two-state LED indicator ring displays a blue light when the mic is on and ready to capture audio and indicates red when it is muted. // FEATURES – Multistage foam mesh windscreen – Integrated shock mount – Built-in headphone jack with high-output amplifier and volume control – Mix control – Silent soft-touch mute buttonwith light indicator – High-resolution AD convertor with 24-Bit/96 kHz sampling rate – Switchable low-cut filter – Professional-grade metal body – Mounting clamp and USB-C to USB-A cable (with USB-A to USB-C adapter)included – For added noise, shock, and vibration cancellation that may be transmitted through a mic stand, boom, or mount, users can purchase the AT8458a shock mount separately // SPECIFICATIONS – Element: Dynamic – Polar Pattern: Hypercardioid – Frequency Response: 80Hz – 16,000Hz – Low Frequency Roll Off: 80Hz, 18dB/octave – Power Requirements: USB Power (5V DC) – Bit Depth: 16 bit / 24 bit – Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz/ 48 kHz/ 88.2 kHz/ 96 kHz – Controls: Headphone level control, Mix control, Low cut, Mute – Weight: 600h – Dimentions: 145.3mm long, 52mm maximum body diameter – Output connector: USB Type-C – Headphone Output: 77W (at 1kHz, 1% THD, 32 Ohms) – Headphone Jack: 3.5mm stereo mini-jack // IN THE BOX – AT2040USB Microphone – AT8487 mounting clamp – 5/8¡±-27 to 3/8¡±-16 threaded adapter – USB cable (about 2.0 m (6.6′), USB Type-C to USB Type-A) – USB conversion adapter (USB-Type-A to USB Type-C)
