Frequently asked questions about this product
Does the AT2020 work plugged straight into a computer?
No: it is a balanced XLR condenser mic, which requires +48 V phantom power. It therefore needs an audio interface or a mixing desk able to supply it.
What does the AT2020's large diaphragm bring?
It flatters the voice, spoken or sung, with a response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a 124 dB dynamic range. This is the signature of studio mics, as opposed to small instrument capsules.
Can the AT2020 handle a guitar amp or a drum kit?
Yes: it handles up to 144 dB SPL, which lets it take a guitar amp or a snare drum. It is stated to be suited to vocals as well as acoustic instruments.
Does the AT2020 pick up room noise?
Its front pickup keeps out room noise: the cardioid capsule captures what is in front of it and rejects the sides. Useful in a living space, which is rarely acoustically treated.
What is in the Audio-Technica AT2020 box?
The mic, a pivoting stand mount with a 5/8-inch thread, a 3/8-inch adapter — the one used on European stands — and a soft protective pouch.
How much does the AT2020 microphone weigh?
345 g. A weight to check if you mount it on an entry-level boom arm, whose spring may struggle to hold its position.
Is this Audio-Technica AT2020 microphone new and under warranty?
Yes, it is a new Audio-Technica product, with a permanently polarised electret condenser capsule. The invoice serves as the warranty document, for a period of 1 year. Keep it in case a defect is found.
