According to our studio microphone expert

  • You won't hear any popping sounds with the letters 'p' en 'b', thanks to the built-in pop filter.

  • Connect the microphone to your computer and quickly start recording.
  • This microphone doesn't have adjustable directional characteristics that lets you decide which direction the microphone is sensitive to.

Description

Record clear conversations with the Audio-Technica AT2040USB. The microphone has a built-in pop filter, which prevents the letters 'p' and 'b' from popping in the recording. With the 3.5mm headphone jack, you can monitor what you're recording with the microphone right away. This means you can check if you're still audible while recording. Press the mute button if you're not talking. This way, you won't hear any background noise when the other person is speaking. You can easily connect the microphone to your laptop or computer via USB, so you can quickly start recording.
