Audio-Technica AT2020 - Cardioid Condenser Studio XLR Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT2020 is a side-address cardioid condenser microphone that set the price/performance standard for project and home studios. A custom 16 mm low-mass diaphragm gives extended frequency response and strong transient response, and the mic handles high SPL with a wide dynamic range.

The cardioid pattern rejects sound from the sides and rear to isolate the source, and a pivoting threaded stand mount allows precise positioning. It requires 48V phantom power from an interface, mixer or in-line supply.

Key Features:

• Side-address cardioid condenser for studio vocals and instruments
• Custom 16 mm low-mass diaphragm for extended, detailed response
• Handles 144 dB SPL with 124 dB dynamic range
• Cardioid pattern improves isolation of the desired source
• Pivoting threaded stand mount included
• Integral XLR output, 48V phantom powered
