Professional Performance Without Background Noise!
The Audio-Technica AT2040USB is a dynamic USB microphone that delivers excellent vocal quality – the perfect partner for all creatives. It combines the broadcast performance of the dynamic podcast microphone AT2040 with plug & play functionality via USB, making it ideal for podcasts, streaming, and other creative projects with professional results.
In live streaming, outstanding sound is just as important as engaging content and top video quality. The AT2040USB impresses with a natural frequency response featuring rich, powerful bass and crystal-clear studio sound. This makes it easy to quickly attract new viewers on YouTube. Streaming projects get a professional touch.
Best Vocal Quality for Your Content
Another quality feature of this dynamic microphone is the hypercardioid pattern, which offers high directionality and helps eliminate common ambient noises like computer fan hum. With a narrower pickup angle compared to a cardioid microphone, the AT2040USB enables very focused voice capture, providing an ideal, highly effective solution for creators and gaming streamers who interact with their followers.
The microphone’s robust metal body is equipped with an internal damping system to minimize unwanted noise and vibrations, while the integrated pop filter protects against strong plosives.
Perfectly Equipped for All Creatives
The AT2040USB features a built-in headphone jack for zero-latency monitoring in real time, plus a silent capacitive touch mute button for easy muting directly on the microphone, along with an LED ring with two operating states:- Blue: Microphone on and active- Red: Mute status
This microphone, specially designed for content creators, comes with a USB-C output and includes a USB cable (USB-C ⇒ USB-A) and a USB-A ⇒ USB-C adapter. This is true plug & play, as it can be connected directly to a computer and is ready to use immediately – without noise or extra cabling hassle.
That makes the AT2040USB ideal for a wide range of creative projects, Twitch streaming, YouTube content, and online chats.

Questions about product
Question by Tobias Emminger on 23.07.2025
Hello, can you plug the mic directly into the Samsung cell phone and record?
Answer by Musikhaus Kirstein:
No, the microphone is only compatible with the operating systems listed in the advertisement. The Rode Wireless ME, for example, would be suitable for recording directly with a cell phone: https://www.kirstein.de/Drahtlos-Komplett-Sets/Rode-Wireless-ME-Digitales-Funksystem.html
