Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone

Tthe Audio-Technica AT202USB+ is a workhorse USB mic designed to give you a good sound and a solid performance, whether you’re streaming audio, conferencing over VoIP, or even recording melodies whenever the inspiration hits. Whether you’re recording content or a computer or a tablet, this USB microphone will help you record or broadcast a clear and present sound.

Audio-Technica has taken the design of their AT series—microphones venerated in studios around the world—and built it into a USB mic that gets the job done with no fuss, allowing anyone to record a quality sound at home. Recording straight to computer, the mic allows you to forego the complications of an audio interface, a mixer, or even speakers: you can monitor your audio as you record over the mic’s built-in 3.5mm input. A USB cable, a tripod tabletop stand, a mic mount, and a pouch are all included.

Designed for Multiple Uses

This mic is designed for your voice, whether you use it to stream game-play over Twitch, participate in VoIP conference calls, or to sing over productions you’ve created in your laptop.

For Computers or Mobile Devices

The mic will operate with both Mac and Windows computers as well as tablets, so long as you have the compatible adapter for mobile devices (available separately). No preamp, interface, converter, or mixer are necessary for recording your voice.

Cardioid Polar Pattern for the Untreated Room

The microphone makes use of a directional cardioid polar pattern to minimize off-axis sound. This polar pattern naturally, yet effectively tamps down room tone and focuses the audio capture on what’s directly in front of the mic, so everyone can clearly hear your voice.

Built-In 3.5mm Headphone Jack and Volume Dial

The mic offers a headphone jack for monitoring. Just plug a pair of headphones into the AT2020USB’s 3.5mm jack, and you’ll be able to listen to your broadcast-quality audio in all its glory. A convenient volume dial helps you raise or lower the headphone volume, so you won’t have to change the volume on your computer or your recording software to hear audio at your desired level. Finally, the mic gives you a blend knob, which comes in handy for recording music: you can use it to adjust the balance between your mic’s pickup and any pre-recorded audio; adjust this knob to your liking, and you won’t hear any latency as you record.
