AUDIO-TECHNICA AT2020 Microphone

AUDIO-TECHNICA AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT2020 is the microphone that set a new standard for affordable side-address studio condensers when it launched, and it remains one of the best-selling studio microphones in the world. Its custom-engineered low-mass diaphragm provides extended frequency response and superior transient response, making it ideal for home recording studios, podcasting, streaming, and voiceover work. Wide dynamic range and high SPL handling give the AT2020 the versatility to capture vocals, acoustic instruments, and loud sources with equal reliability. Requires 48V phantom power.
