The AT2020 goes USB!

The AT2020 USB brings the sound, quality, and affordability of the AT2020 to the desktop for direct-to-computer simplicity. This black beauty is perfect for any recording situation where ease of use is a must, but quality is essential. From podcasting to tracking your masterpiece the AT2020 USB provides reliable and accurate pickup. Like its predecessor, this digital mic/recording interface is built to AT's exacting standards, ensuring the best sound available at an amazing price. The AT2020 led the charge of affordable condensers, and the AT2020 USB continues that legacy.

Based on the renowned AT2020
The AT2020 USB is based on the design of Audio-Technica's critically acclaimed AT2020 cardioid condenser microphone. Like the AT2020, it features a low-mass diaphragm, custom-engineered for extended frequency response and superior transient response.

  • Crystal-clear, natural sound for podcasting, home studio recording, field recording, and voiceover use
  • Custom-engineered low-mass diaphragm provides extended frequency response and superior transient response

I was very pleased with the shipping speed and the way the stand was packed. I was especially surprised to see candy thrown in the box as well, thank you. It was very relevant to your name "sweet" water. Your "Thank You" inserts provided an insight into your service to your customers - and it really shows how you really appreciate your customers. Your customer service is excellent and I would not hesitate to buy from you again ... in fact, you will be the first company that will come to mind for my next purchase because I know what I will expect. Excellent Customer Service!

I will be recording at home on my computer and needed a good quality yet moderately priced microphone.

I am thrilled with the results. Studio quality at my own computer. close [-]

Great Mic

Music Background: hobbyist
I purchased this microphone with the intention of recording lyrics for a homemade rap record. It is extremely efficient, picks up all sounds within range, records crisply and clearly, etc. The cardioi... read more [+]d pattern is also very good. Sometimes I record while other people are in the house and none of the noises that they make are audible in the recording. Overall, I am extremely happy with this product, which I nearly overlooked due to its low price. close [-]

Amazing USB Mic!

by Janet F. from

Music Background:
I originally bought this mic to record voice acting lines for a voice audition. My original mic was pretty bad- it sounded like i was talking through a tin can. I was directed here, and I honestly fee... read more [+]l like this was 100% worth the price. The mic works very well, it looks very nice, too. It comes with a desk stand and it is very portable and easy to carry around via the pouch that also comes with it. The cable is really long, too long for my purposes, but that doesn't bother me in the slightest. Overall, it was a great buy. I recommend this mic! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Scott DeMarko
The AT2020 is a mic that you second-guess for the price, and then you second-guess because you thought you were using that other more expensive mic you just bought. In my many uses for the AT2020 from hip hop/MCs who can battle like champs to R&B soulful delights and even acoustic recording the AT2020 mic is a great contender in a pile of mics in this price range. Sound quality is superb, it is very clean, without any extra artifacts. To be plain and simple the AT2020 mic is one of my favorite go-to mics because it has stood the test of time in a studio where it gets abused, and being affordable doesn't mean it's lacking in quality. It really delivers a great sound for the price. The USB version of this mic means you don't need to spend extra money buying a separate audio interface. 1 - Open box. 2 - Plug in. 3 - Record!
