About this product

The Audio-Technica AT2020 is a side-address cardioid condenser microphone aimed at home recording, podcasting, streaming and project-studio work. B&H describes it as carrying sonic character from the company's studio condensers into an affordable package, using a low-mass diaphragm for extended frequency response and strong transient detail. Because its cardioid pattern mostly picks up what is in front of the capsule and rejects sound from behind, it helps tame room noise when you record in an untreated space. This is the classic XLR version, so it needs a microphone preamp or audio interface that supplies phantom power; a separate AT2020USB family exists for plug-and-play USB use.

Who it's for: beginner to intermediate streamers, podcasters, singers and home-studio users, teen to adult. Compatibility: any XLR interface or mixer with 48V phantom power. Newegg also lists the same mic through a third-party seller, and Audio-Technica sells AT2020USB-X and AT2020USB-XP USB variants.
