2020USB+ Cardioid Condenser Microphone (USB connection) Grey

This microphone is high quality, both in build and in audio quality. it is easy to setup with just needing to plug it in and following the included instructions to ensure that its volume is appropriate. The microphone comes included with a small tripod to mount it on to allow it to point towards the desired audio source (usually you). The microphone is a little heavy and the small tripod is prone to falling over if bumped but if you dont move it, it's perfectly adaquate. It can pick up voices with crystal clear quality making this a good mic for talking or recording. I bought this microphone to talk to people over the internet and to record my guitar, for this it is excellent. It can pick up the softest of plucks and the hardest of strums just fine making music recordings possible with it. along with its mount, it comes with a small carrying bag and a 2m cable making it easy to place anywhere you need. When plugged in it automatically installs its required drivers which include a virtual audio cable. This allows you to switch software to output its audio back into your microphone. This is very useful for things like soundboards where you want to blend sound effects with your voice. The microphone has a dial on the device to adjust the blend between the microphone's audio and its input from the virtual audio cable. The microphone also includes a 3.5mm headphone jack which allows you to hear your voice live without the delay usually caused from software's audio monitoring. The second dial controls the volume of this monitoring feature. Neither dial however controls its output volume to the computer. Overall, this is a wonderful microphone. It has everything a person might need in an audio input device. While it may seem expensive, in terms of audio equipment this is an affordable option without sacrificing quality.

Everything was perfect from packaging to setup. With this purchase you get an AT2020 Microphone, a tripod Stand, USB Cable, swivel adapter and a pouch. Being a USB microphone it is as easy as plug and play with both OSX and Windows. The sounds is amazing. Crystal clear, sharp and professional. It has a headphone jack to listen back and almost zero lag. There is two volume controls on the mic. One for headphones and the other as a monitor. I live in a noisy environment and was worried about it picking up to much. Just by using adjusting the microphone levels in your OS's settings it can work to how you want. Coupled with other programs it can do a lot more. For live recording.... Adobe Audition can process your voice to give it broadcasting/radio quality. In OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) the noise gate can be adjusted so it picks up your voice and not loud keystrokes. For stuff like Youtube or pre-recorded videos. The sound can be ran through Audacity or a number of programs and maximizes the sound quality due to the AT2020 being one of the best microphones on the market. In terms of quality this in my option beats the Blue Yeti hands down. Aesthetically its looks more pleasing to the eye and due to the slim design it will fit in most shock mounts/ mic stands. I know the Blue Yeti has trouble sliding into some stands. Do remember that this is a USB mic, so the advantage is you do not need a mixer to adjust the audio levels as with the AT2020 standard. It is all done digitally with whatever program you use. I also recommend buying a boom arm stand instead of using the standard tripod (more room for Keyboard and mouse) and a cheap pop shield like this one Mudder Recording Studio Microphone Mic Windscreen Pop Filter with Double Layer for streaming and gaming . If you have the space directly in front of your person then the tripod stand is sufficient. The only downside is the blue L.E.D. It is not distracting but when coupled with a green screen can shine a little. However you can always rotate the mic so the blue light is on the other side. There is no way to turn this light off but it is the only flaw on what I deem a perfect microphone. The sound is AMAZING!

The Audio-Technica AT2020 USB+ delivers clear, warm, and professional-quality sound. Perfect for voiceovers and YouTube content, the real-time headphone monitoring is a big advantage. Strong build, easy to use, and totally worth the price.

Ya conocía la calidad del audio así que no estaba cogiendo algo a ciegas. Sencillamente lo compré por dos cosas... primera porque me lo recomendaron y segundo porque aunque tiene una calidad de audio excelente, comparado con algún micro del mismo rango de precio, es un peliiiin menos sensible. Obviamente si estamos grabando en una wisper room o tenemos un estudio perfectamente aislado acusticamente, no vamos a tener problemas con otro tipo de micro más sensible, pero si grabamos un poco en plan casero y luego tenemos que limpiar audio... uff!!! ahi es donde entra este AT2020 porque tiene un equilibrio muy bueno entre sensibilidad y calidad de sonido y eso, en un ambiente de grabación casero nos va a ahorrar trabajo o directamente nos lo va a evitar. Por eso decia en el titulo que a veces más no es mejor. No tiene mute ni control de ganancia en el mismo micro, en cuanto al botón de mute lo he echado en falta, pero no el control de ganancia, al final con la conexión USB lo hacemos directamente del ordenador y no estamos siempre cambiando esa ganancia. Si que lleva en el micro el control de mix y el control de volumen del auricular, el auricular pega fuertecillo. Obviamente con el patrón cardioide tenemos que hablar en el mismo eje que la parte frontal del micro y AT nos ayuda con la inclusión de un LED azul que es donde tenemos que dirigir nuestra voz. También me ha gustado el sistema de sujección, se ven tuercas de calida y aprisionan, fijando el micro en su posición correcta a las mil maravillas. La bolsita de transporte y para guardarlo me ha parecido muy bien, la caja tambien es un buen sitio para guardar el micro si lo no estamos usando porque lleva una forma pre-cortada en espuma muy maja. Dicho esto, he grabado un pequeño video para que lo vierais... la parte final del video he usado el audio del micro directamente, pero vamos, la calidad es muy buena.

I’m very satisfied with this product! The quality is exactly as expected—it’s well-made, functional, and works as described. The delivery was fast, and the item arrived in perfect condition. I’ve been using it for a month, and it performs just as I needed. I highly recommend it to anyone considering this product!
