Review: Great microphone - 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. 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: Good works well - I’ve been using the Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone for a while, and overall, it’s a solid choice, especially if you’re just getting into recording or need a step up from basic USB mics without spending big. It delivers Clear, detailed sound for vocals and instruments. Solid build quality. This is an XLR mic, so you’ll need an audio interface or mixer that provides 48 V phantom power; it won’t work plugged straight into USB without extra gear. It also picks up room noise if the space isn’t treated. If you’re building a home recording setup for music, podcasts, voiceovers, or streaming, the AT2020 is one of the most reliable budget condenser mics out there.

## Features

- Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you tell me exactly everything I need to buy in order to set this microphone up and use it as soon as I buy it...(meaning cables and/or stand etc)**
A: You will need a stand of some sort, They range from tiny ones for a desktop situation to huge ones with wheels and boom arms for reaching around and over things. Get one that has favorable reviews. Super cheap ones will break with very little use. This comes with a mic mount and it works but I would invest in a shock mount. You will need a balanced microphone cable with XLR female to plug in to the mic and whatever option you need on the other end. If you do not have a mixer, you will need a preamp because this thing requires phantom power. I would also invest or make a plosive filter as well. I hope that answers your question. Cheers!

**Q: Does this product come with a XLR cable? if so, how long is the included cable?**
A: The product doesnt come with an XLR cable, but you can buy one on Amazon for cheap here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stagg-MC03XX-metre-microphone-cable/dp/B000OLVXAQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-1&keywords=stagg+microphone+3+metre

**Q: the pictures confuse me! is this XLR or USB?**
A: I received this Mic thinking it was USB but it was XLR, so I sent it back. I hope this helped.

**Q: Because it is an XLR microphone can i use a XLR to USB Adapter to wire it up to my computer?**
A: Hi, simple answer here is no you can't.  That's because these mics need 48v of phantom power, usually provided by a recording interface or mixing desk.  The xlr to usb adapters don't support this phantom power so won't work with the AT2020.  There is a usb version of this Mic by Audio Technica if you are wanting to use it directly to pc, otherwise you'll need to use a usb interface or a usb mixing desk both with a phantom power capability for the xlr version. Hope that helps?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality and sturdy
*by A***R on 22 September 2025*

The microphone is easy to use, good quality, and works well. It seems robust and is quite weighty, which does mean that the small tripod stand that came with it is not really stable enough to support it adequately - within an hour of opening the box, the microphone ended up on the floor because the little stand over-balanced when I moved it slightly. Hence the conclusion that the microphone seems robust, as falling from the desk to the floor didn't do any harm!
