Audio Technica AT2020USB-X Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone

The AT2020USB-X is specially designed to meet the needs of podcasters, streamers, and other creators, offering the critically acclaimed, award-winning sound of the original AT2020 with the convenience of plug-and-play USB-C operation.

The microphone’s directional pickup (cardioid) keeps the focus on your voice or other chosen sound source, while its high-resolution A/D converter (up to 24-bit/96 kHz sampling rate) ensures extremely clear, natural sound reproduction. The AT2020USB-X features a built-in headphone jack with volume control to let you directly monitor the microphone signal with no delay. It also offers a mix control to let you blend the microphone’s audio with audio from the computer, and has a silent touch-sensitive mute button to quickly and easily mute audio at the microphone.

The microphone comes with a custom desk stand, 3/8"-16 to 5/8"-27 threaded adapter, USB-A - USB-C Cable and adaptor to convert the USB-A connector to a USB-C for devices that only allow a USB-C connection.
