Based on the Renowned AT2020
The AT2020 USB is a side-address studio condenser based on the design of Audio-Technica's critically acclaimed AT2020 cardioid condenser microphone, which can be found in studios worldwide. Like the AT2020, it features a low-mass diaphragm, custom-engineered for extended frequency response and superior transient response. The Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source.
Digital-Ready
With low self-noise, the AT2020 USB is perfectly suited for sophisticated digital recording equipment. Audio-Technica's state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure that the microphone complies with the company's renowned consistency and reliability standards.
This means you'll get crystal-clear, natural sound for podcasting, home studio recording, field recording, and voiceover use.

Video Review of AT2020 USB Microphone,
By J. J. Marino "Geekasaurus Rex" (Rochester, New York) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Audio-Technica AT2020 USB Condenser USB Microphone (Electronics)
This is my video review of the AT2020 USB microphone from Audio-Technica. USB Microphones are made to be plugged in directly to a laptop or desktop. I connected this to a Vista 64 laptop during filming and did the voice over on a Macbook Pro. Text review: I give this product a 5 star rating. It is easy to use, high quality and very competitively priced. This is a great desktop mic to use for making podcasts or recording music. I am not a musician so I am not able to speak to that aspect of the microphones ability. I did use it to make several voice over videos and it performed perfectly. Never a hick-up or any spurious noises heard at all. I did not include specs into my video review because it would add to the file size and be too small to read here on Amazon's video player. Regular readers of my reviews know I try to supply specs when necessary. Here are the specs: Element: Fixed-charge back plate permanently polarized condenser Polar pattern: Cardioid Frequency Response: 20Hz-16,000Hz Power Requirements: USB power (+5VDC) Bit depth: 16 Sample Rate: 44,000 kHz Weight: 374g (13.2 oz) Dimensions: 162.0 mm (6.38") long 52.0mm max body diameter (2.05") Output connector: USB type Accessories: Pivoting stand for 5/8"-27 threaded stands, 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 threaded adapter, soft protective pouch, tripod desk stand; 3.1m 10' USB cable System Reqs: Mac OSX, USB 1.0 or 2.0 64MB RAM minimum. Windows XP Home or professional USB 1.0 or 2.0 64MB RAM minimum. So for a great USB microphone I recommend this highly! About the video: After uploading I noticed that Amazon's codec (video compressor) has made the video quality sub-par. I will try to reupload it again with a different codec. Thank you for watching!

This review is from: Audio-Technica AT2020 USB Condenser USB Microphone (Electronics)
I was looking for the pre Amp for my microphone to do do voice over video and found this USB microphone from Audio technica. So I did not have to buy the preamp . Just plug it to the USB port then you go. It was very easy to use and noise floor very quiet, it does not record the fan noise from your computer or the background noise in the recording room, very happy with the purchase.

Audio Technica AT2020USB,
By NW Outside (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Audio-Technica AT2020 USB Condenser USB Microphone (Electronics)
I've had this condenser microphone for about a month now and it has suited my purposes very well. I needed something to record podcasts with and do some voiceover work as well. I do my recording with Audacity, and the microphone was imediately recognized and easily installed as my primary microphone for Audacity. It is a very sensitive mic, and I had to build a small "porta-booth" ([...])to reduce the echo in the room where I record, but was able to get good clear recording after that. I recomend using a pop filter with this microphone to help reduce "S" & "P" sybillance. All in all, a very good microphone for the price.
