The microphone comes included with a small tripod to mount it on to allow it to point towards the desired audio source (usually you). The microphone is a little heavy and the small tripod is prone to falling over if bumped but if you dont move it, it's perfectly adaquate. It can pick up voices with crystal clear quality making this a good mic for talking or recording. I bought this microphone to talk to people over the internet and to record my guitar, for this it is excellent. It can pick up the softest of plucks and the hardest of strums just fine making music recordings possible with it. along with its mount, it comes with a small carrying bag and a 2m cable making it easy to place anywhere you need. When plugged in it automatically installs its required drivers which include a virtual audio cable. This allows you to switch software to output its audio back into your microphone. This is very useful for things like soundboards where you want to blend sound effects with your voice. The microphone has a dial on the device to adjust the blend between the microphone's audio and its input from the virtual audio cable. The microphone also includes a 3.5mm headphone jack which allows you to hear your voice live without the delay usually caused from software's audio monitoring. The second dial controls the volume of this monitoring feature. Neither dial however controls its output volume to the computer. Overall, this is a wonderful microphone. It has everything a person might need in an audio input device. While it may seem expensive, in terms of audio equipment this is an affordable option without sacrificing quality. Review: The best mic on the market for live streaming and recording. Your voice has never sounded better. - Everything was perfect from packaging to setup. With this purchase you get an AT2020 Microphone, a tripod Stand, USB Cable, swivel adapter and a pouch. Being a USB microphone it is as easy as plug and play with both OSX and Windows. The sounds is amazing. Crystal clear, sharp and professional. It has a headphone jack to listen back and almost zero lag. There is two volume controls on the mic. One for headphones and the other as a monitor. I live in a noisy environment and was worried about it picking up to much. Just by using adjusting the microphone levels in your OS's settings it can work to how you want. Coupled with other programs it can do a lot more. For live recording.... Adobe Audition can process your voice to give it broadcasting/radio quality. In OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) the noise gate can be adjusted so it picks up your voice and not loud keystrokes. For stuff like Youtube or pre-recorded videos. The sound can be ran through Audacity or a number of programs and maximizes the sound quality due to the AT2020 being one of the best microphones on the market. In terms of quality this in my option beats the Blue Yeti hands down. Aesthetically its looks more pleasing to the eye and due to the slim design it will fit in most shock mounts/ mic stands. I know the Blue Yeti has trouble sliding into some stands. Do remember that this is a USB mic, so the advantage is you do not need a mixer to adjust the audio levels as with the AT2020 standard. It is all done digitally with whatever program you use. I also recommend buying a boom arm stand instead of using the standard tripod (more room for Keyboard and mouse) and a cheap pop shield like this one Mudder Recording Studio Microphone Mic Windscreen Pop Filter with Double Layer for streaming and gaming . If you have the space directly in front of your person then the tripod stand is sufficient. The only downside is the blue L.E.D. It is not distracting but when coupled with a green screen can shine a little. However you can always rotate the mic so the blue light is on the other side. There is no way to turn this light off but it is the only flaw on what I deem a perfect microphone. The sound is AMAZING! ## Features - Equipped with a USB output, the AT2020USB+ is designed for digitally capturing music or any acoustic audio source using your favorite recording software - The AT2020USB+ features a built-in headphone jack with volume control that allows you to directly monitor your microphone signal with no delay - It also offers mix control that blends microphone and pre-recorded audio - The microphone’s cardioid pickup pattern delivers excellent off-axis rejection, while its A/D converter with a 16-bit, 44.1/48 kHz sampling rate ensures extremely articulate sound reproduction - The microphone offers the critically acclaimed, award-winning sound of the AT2020, with studio-quality articulation and intelligibility perfect for singer/songwriters, podcasters, voice-over artists, field recorders, and home studio recorders. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B5ZX9FM | | Antenna Location | Singing, Streaming | | Audible Noise | 74 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 10 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | 279 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 8 in Condenser Microphones | | Box Contents | microphone | | Brand Name | Audio-Technica | | Colour | Dark Grey | | Compatible Devices | Headphone | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | USB | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (4,728) | | Enclosure Material | [Standard microphone material] | | Frequency Range | 20 - 20000 Hz | | Frequency Response | 48 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00700315919256, 04961310118747 | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Dimensions | 16.3 x 5.1 x 5.1 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Large Diaphragm Condenser microphone | | Item Weight | 0.39 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | audio-technica | | Manufacturer Part Number | AT2020USB PLUS | | Microphone Form Factor | Boundary | | Model Name | At2020 USB | | Model Number | AT2020USB PLUS | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 74 dB | | Special Feature | Corded | | UPC | 042005178988 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Audio-Technica - **Colour:** Dark Grey - **Compatible devices:** Headphone - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Connector type:** USB - **Included components:** microphone - **Model name:** At2020 USB - **Polar pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended uses for product:** Singing, Streaming - **Special feature:** Corded ## Images ![2020USB+ Cardioid Condenser Microphone (USB connection) Grey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619-O36ji+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long is the usb cable that comes with it?** A: I was pretty pleased when opened it. It is a cable about 4m long. **Q: Hi- when roughly will the AT2020 plus usb mic be back in stock- as I've already placed my order?** A: soon hopefully **Q: Where is the headphone jack located on the mic ? I can see the volume slider but not the headphone jack itself. Thanks in advance.** A: The jack in on the back left portion of the mic. **Q: how is the + better than the normal version? Very interested to know can anyone help?** A: The normal version of this mic is xlr which requires a pre-amp and phantom power to function. This is a usb microphone and has its own headphone socket which allows you to listen to yourself through the mic as well as the PC at the same time. It will be useful for if your singing along to tracks etc. hope that helps ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great microphone *by A***R on 19 March 2024* This microphone is high quality, both in build and in audio quality. it is easy to setup with just needing to plug it in and following the included instructions to ensure that its volume is appropriate.
