Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Black)

Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Black)

The Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone in black is made to enable podcasters, musicians, and content producers to record at home with sonic quality that is distilled from the company's renowned studio condensers. When tracking in untreated environments, the capsule's low-mass, side-address diaphragm and cardioid polar pattern help to reject ambient noise and background noise. It has a pivoting stand mount that allows for simple attachment to your current mic stand.

The versatility to precisely recreate signals from a range of sources, such as voices, speech, and instruments, is made possible by the AT2020's extended, linear frequency response. The AT2020 can capture loud sounds with a minimum amount of noise and distortion thanks to its high SPL handling and wide dynamic range. The AT2020 is a solid-state condenser with an XLR output, meaning it needs to be connected to a mic preamp with an XLR that can supply 48V phantom power.

Studio Quality at Home

This side-address cardioid condenser mic is built for longer frequency response and enhanced transient response and is intended for home/project studio applications. The AT2020 is perfect for artists, streamers, podcasters, and other content creators because to its studio-quality articulation and intelligibility.

Cardioid Polar Pattern

The cardioid polar pattern of the AT2020 allows it to record your voice or instrument with less background noise since it predominantly picks up sound in front of the mic while being far less sensitive to sound behind the mic.

Ready for Daily Use

The AT2020 offers dependability, high SPL handling, and a broad dynamic range in addition to its tough build and high-performance characteristics. It includes a protective pouch, an adapter for 3/8"-16 threaded stands, and a space-saving stand mount for 5/8"-27 threaded stands.
