The Audio-Technica AT2020 is a side-address cardioid condenser microphone built for studio recording, broadcasting and streaming. Its custom-engineered low-mass diaphragm delivers a wide, linear frequency response with low self-noise, while handling sound pressure levels up to 144 dB SPL without distortion. A proven workhorse across professional and project studios alike, the AT2020 requires 48V phantom power and connects via a standard 3-pin XLR output.
