The Audio Technica AT2020USB+ is a USB condenser microphone ideal for studio applications, podcasting and field recording.
The Audio Technica AT2020USB+ takes its cues from the AT2020 and picks up from where the AT2020USB left off, with additional features including a built-in headphone output with Volume and Mix controls for mixing the microphone's signal with pre-recorded sound. This means users can monitor directly from the microphone itself to ensure there's no latency.
The AT2020USB+ has an A/D converter with 16-bit, 44.1/48KHz sampling rates for high quality audio. It works with any audio recording software on PC or Mac and comes with a tripod desk stand with folding legs.
The main features of the Audio Technica AT2020USB+ USB Condenser Microphone include:
I bought this as a mic for recording podcasts and for video conferences, also possibly recording a ukulele player later on. The mic is plug and play and works on Mac and Windows 10 without any drivers to be added. Build quality is excellent. I also found that the headphone socket can be plugged into my mixers with a simple adaptor and I use an iPad USB power plug to provide power , so it can be used with a mixer and even my Tascam DR100 digital recorder ! All you need is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm plug cable for the recorder. Easy controls on mix and headphones. I did a recording of an audio podcast, played it back and ultra low noise. I may update the stand as the tripod is basic, but otherwise great. I even tried it on an old iMac which is probably ten years old and worked first time. Brilliant mic !
I love Audio Technica and totally recommend this USB microphone! It is simple and sounds amazing! You just have to plug and change the sound source and you are ready to go! The Music Store delivered so quickly and easily! They had the best prices too!
