I've been using the AT2020USB+ from @AudioTechnicaAus for over two years but the AT2040 outclasses it in every way, bar one minor use-case. Here's the difference between the two and what they offer.
Wait. I just was on the audio technica website. The 2040 was 99$ not 250$. Is it just UK vs US prices? Or am I crazy? Also I thought these were both XLR mics not usb??? I feel like I'm crazy since I was literally on their site before watching this. Someone please explain
