Audio-TechnicaAT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone Black

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.

Wow! What can I say, this mic sounds incredible. Very easy to use and the recording needs very little EQ. Super sound and very clear. Great on guitar and vocals, I'm sure other sound sources as well but that's all I've tried. Very well made, it's actually fairly heavy so keep that in mind if using a cheaper mic stand. The sound recorded with this At2020 is studio grade, you can easily make a very professional sounding song.

A good few years back I had an XLR AT microphone that I loved the quality from. In January I had a need for a microphone but wasn't sure I would use it much, so I just bought a cheap USB microphone. For the price, it wasn't bad but a few month in and it started developing a fault. Since I found I was using a microphone more than I thought, I decided it was worth paying the extra for an AT based on my previous experience. It's good to see that their microphones still live up to my expectations. The sound quality is excellent and picks up a lot less background noise than my previous USB mic too. Build quality is great, it feels a nicely constructed bit of kit and looks the part......just a single blue light to indicate power without any of the flashy gamer stuff, this is good with me! I didn't use the desk stand, I have it on an arm, so can't comment on that. I'm glad I paid the extra now, I have found it very worthwhile and good to see AT still making quality products.

Just decent studio mic. Think it be good for noobs (im also one of em tho). I’m not sure this is my problem or not, but when it recorded on Garage Band, it makes weird noises. I check every single parts but could’t solve it. I recommend you to buy XLR mic.

Excellent quality microphone that sounds absolutely amazing. While it needs a fair amount of gain from a preamp it is very responsive and sensitive to my voice. It’s not gigantic either so I can happily have it in front of me. Build quality is excellent, with great metal construction.

I purchased this microphone back on 6 January 2022, and I’m still using it to this day without any problems at all. The sound quality has held up perfectly, and it’s been completely reliable over the years.Really impressed with how well it’s lasted. Definitely a solid investment if you’re looking for a dependable microphone!
