Audio Technica AT2020 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Audio-Technica's stringent quality and consistency standards set the AT2020 apart from other mics in its class. Its low-mass diaphragm is custom-engineered for extended frequency response and superior transient response. With rugged construction for durable performance, the microphone offers a wide dynamic range and handles high SPLs with ease. The AT2020: the new standard for affordable side-address studio condensers.

Versatile cardioid polar pattern

Cardioid polar patterns are perfect for a huge range of applications - with more sensitivity at the front of the microphone and significantly less at the sides and rear, a cardioid pattern reduces the capture of ambient noise and unwanted sound sources. This powerful pattern is ideal for live performances and studio recording, be it spoken-word, vocals, instrumentation and more. The narrow angle of sensitivity minimizes bleed from other sources, capturing only what you want to be heard.

Adapt to any situation

The AT2020 is loved and adored all over the world by recording studios, live and pro-sound engineers, streamers, artists, broadcasters and more. With such a phenomenal reputation across a diverse range of industries, it's no surprise that the AT2020 has found a permanent home in the hands of countless professionals and hobbyists alike. The cardioid polar pattern provides excellent isolation for a clear and intelligible sound, whilst the custom-engineered 16mm low-mass diaphragm delivers an incredibly wide and linear frequency response. The AT2020 is ideal for capturing crisp and clear audio, with high SPL handling capabilities for extremely loud sound sources.

Low operating noise

When you've invested a great deal of time and effort into creating the ultimate recording system, the last thing you want is noise making its way into your signal path. That's what makes the AT2020 a perfect choice no matter what you intend to capture - the ultra-low operating noise of the mic ensures you get the best quality sonic performance out of your rig. Whether your setup is sophisticated or straightforward, the AT2020 blends seamlessly into your workflow without unwanted interference.

Quick, easy, and precise positioning

The Audio Technica AT2020 comes complete with a unique pivoting threaded stand mount. This innovative design enables you to achieve the perfect position in the acoustic sweet spot of your environment. The mount attaches securely to your stand with its 5⁄8''-27 threading, whilst the included adapter also allows you to utilise stands with a 3⁄8''-16 thread. When you're done recording, you can simply pop the microphone and mount into the included soft protective pouch for hassle-free transportation and storage.
