The rugged metal chassis and in-built shock mount minimizes unwanted noise and vibrations transferring from the mic stand and into the microphone, and a multi-stage foam mesh windshield with a nonwoven filter enables close-up use while providing outstanding protection against the plosives and pops inherent with speaking into a microphone. Featuring an integrated headphone jack, the AT2040USB allows for audio monitoring in real-time, and with no latency, and the mix control lets you find the perfect monitoring blend of microphone signal and computer audio playback. Boasting a quick muting function, a silent, touch-sensitive, capacitive mute button mutes audio at the microphone, while the two-state LED indicator ring provides visual feedback of the mute status - blue when the mic is on and ready to capture audio, and red when the microphone is muted. With a USB Type-C output connection, the AT2040USB features plug-and-play functionality - enabling users to connect the microphone directly to a computer for instantaneous use, without worrying about audio interference or additional cabling. From Twitch streaming, to creating videos on YouTube, or just for your online chatroom - the Audio-Technica AT2040USB is the ultimate companion for content creation.
