AntLion ModMic USB 2 PC Microphone

Attachable USB Microphone for Headphones

Building on years of magnetic-mount microphone design, the Antlion ModMic USB 2 delivers a plug-and-play voice solution while letting users keep their preferred headphones. Avoiding the limitations of built-in headset mics or desktop boom arms, this microphone clips to nearly any earcup and provides clear digital audio through a simple USB connection. In this second generation, a larger capsule and revised acoustic chamber lower line noise and sharpen vocal clarity. A USB-A to USB-C adapter broadens compatibility for newer laptops and handheld PCs that use only Type-C ports. Designed to work with Windows, Mac, Linux, and PlayStation, the unit operates driver-free—just connect and go.

Magnetic Mounting with Instant Digital Mute

What truly distinguishes this model is the patented N45 neodymium magnetic base clamp system. Two clamps are included, each with multiple rotation angles so the boom arm can be positioned exactly where you need it. An in-line digital mute switch with LED indicator is built into the soft-touch cable, allowing for fast, software-free muting during calls or gameplay. Five cable clips are included to keep your headphone and mic cables neatly bundled.

Audio Specs and Connectivity

Diving into the technical features explains its edge over typical headset microphones.

• Polar Pattern: Uni-directional (cardioid) — targets your voice and rejects room noise and keyboard sounds
• Natural voice comes through thanks to a Frequency Response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz spanning the full audible spectrum
• ADC Resolution: 48 kHz / 16-bit and 96 dB dynamic range — pro-level digital conversion for rich vocal detail
• With a max SPL of 110 dB, even loud voices or close mic use won’t distort your audio
• Instant connectivity is provided via USB Type-A and USB-C adapter — compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, and PlayStation

Perfect for Gamers, Streamers, and Remote Work

If you use high-end headphones without a microphone, this attachable solution offers a major upgrade. Content creators benefit from the cardioid pattern’s noise rejection when streaming or recording, while remote professionals value the instant mute and consistent USB quality for meetings. Swapping the mic between different headsets is easy—just attach extra clamps to each. VR enthusiasts seeking a better mic for their headset without a full replacement find this model ideal. The included hardshell case protects the mic during travel.
