The Audio-Technica AT2020 is the iconic and critically acclaimed cardioid condenser microphone that brought affordable, professional quality into the homes and studios of podcasters, musicians, and voiceover artists alike. Engineered for crisp detail, the Audio-Technica AT2020 redefined budget-friendly technology and has been a firm favourite among creators for over 15 years.

High-quality audio

A condenser microphone such as the Audio-Technica AT2020 contains a delicate diaphragm that captures the vibrations of the sounds you’re recording. This diaphragm is so sensitive that it requires power through the XLR cable*, ensuring every aspect of your instrument or voice is captured in crisp detail.

Audio-Technica cardioid microphones have heart — figuratively and literally — thanks to the shape of their sound capture area. Cardioid microphones capture what’s in front of them in a heart-shaped pattern, from the pinnacle of sound capture at the front to the graduated capture off to the sides. This cardioid pattern improves isolation of the desired sound source for rich and accurate recording.

*XLR cable sold separately.
