Audio-Technica AT2020 Microphone - Cardioid Studio Condenser

Audio-Technica AT2020 Microphone - Cardioid Studio Condenser arrives as a reliable, professional-grade condenser microphone designed for studio recordings and voice work.

With a cardioid polar pattern, the Audio-Technica AT2020 focuses on the sound source while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for vocal performance and close-miked instruments. The mic offers a frequency response of 20–20,000 Hz, capturing a wide audio spectrum with clear highs and solid lows.

The microphone sensitivity is 37 dB and the input impedance is 100 Ω, specifications that combine to deliver a detailed, low-noise signal suitable for home studios and project recording setups. Connectivity is wired via an XLRM connector, ensuring robust, professional cabling.

The AT2020 requires DC phantom power at an operating voltage of 48 V and draws approximately 2 mA of current, so it pairs well with audio interfaces or mixers that provide standard 48 V phantom power. Power supply type and source are DC only, which is typical for professional condenser microphones.

Weighing 345 g, the microphone has a solid but manageable build for mounting on booms or desktop stands. Its durable construction makes it suitable for repeated use in different recording environments without compromising sound quality.

Typical use cases include vocal tracking, podcasting, voice-over work, acoustic instrument recording, and streaming. The cardioid pattern and wide frequency response make it particularly effective for capturing detailed, present vocal performances while rejecting unwanted room ambience.

Key selling points: professional cardioid condenser design, 20–20,000 Hz frequency range, XLRM wired connectivity, 48 V phantom power operation, and compact 345 g weight.
