Audio-Technica AT2020 Side-address cardioid condenser microphone
Product Overview
The Audio-Technica AT2020 is a side-address cardioid condenser microphone widely regarded as a price/performance standard for project studios and content creation. It delivers clear, natural sound for vocals, voiceover, podcasting, and instruments in broadcast studios and multi-purpose rooms. Its cardioid pattern rejects off-axis sound for focused capture.
Product Description
The AT2020 brings studio-grade condenser capture to an accessible price, with a detailed cardioid response that suits home studios, podcasting, and project recording. Its rugged construction handles everyday use.
Frequency response runs 20–20,000 Hz with an open circuit sensitivity of –37 dB (14.1 mV), a 100 ohm impedance, a 144 dB maximum SPL, and a 124 dB dynamic range. The microphone requires 48V phantom power.
For a pad, high-pass filter, and shockmount, the AT2035 is a step-up cardioid; for a USB version with monitoring, see the AT2020USB-X.
