Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Made for musicians, podcasters, streamers, and other content creators, the Audio-Technica AT2020 is a side-address cardioid condenser microphone for home and project studios.
Its custom-engineered 16 mm low-mass diaphragm gives an extended frequency response of 20 to 20,000 Hz and a fast transient response. The AT2020 handles sound levels up to 144 dB SPL and has a wide 124 dB dynamic range. Its cardioid pattern reduces pickup of sound from the sides and rear, isolating the source in front of it.
The condenser element draws 2 mA and needs 48 V phantom power from a mixer or console or a separate in-line phantom power supply. The balanced, low-impedance output comes from an integral 3-pin XLR connector.
The AT2020 comes with a pivoting, threaded stand mount that attaches securely to any stand with 5/8″-27 threads, a 5/8″-27 to 3/8″-16 threaded adapter, and a soft protective pouch. The microphone is 162 mm (6.38 inches) long and weighs 345 g (12.1 oz).
