Our take on the Audio Technica AT2020 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The AT2020 is a side-address large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone built for home studios, podcasts and streaming. Its low-mass diaphragm gives extended frequency response and fast transient response, and it handles high sound pressure levels without strain. The cardioid pattern rejects sound from the sides and rear, which helps in untreated rooms. It is a wired XLR studio mic, so it needs an audio interface or mixer with phantom power; compared with USB mics it trades plug-and-play ease for cleaner capture and more placement options.

About the Audio Technica AT2020 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The AT2020 is a side-address condenser microphone for home and project studios. It is made for content creators such as musicians, podcasters and streamers.

Questions and answers

Does the AT2020 need phantom power?

No. It has an XLR output, so you need an audio interface or mixer to connect it to a computer or phone.
Is the AT2020 good for podcasting and streaming?
Yes, if you have an interface and a reasonably quiet room. Its cardioid pattern helps reject sound from the sides and rear.
