Audio-Technica AT2020USBX Microfone USB

USB Microphone with Studio-Grade Condenser Sound

The Audio-Technica AT2020USB-X is a cardioid condenser USB microphone that brings the award-winning AT2020 sound to a true plug-and-play USB-C workflow. An onboard A/D converter handles analog-to-digital conversion inside the mic, so no audio interface, phantom power supply, or driver install is required on Windows or macOS.

Touch Mute, Zero-Latency Monitoring, USB-C Simplicity

A soft-touch capacitive mute button silences the signal without any mechanical click, and a two-state LED ring switches from blue (powered) to red (muted) for instant visual feedback. The rear 3.5 mm headphone jack feeds a direct, latency-free monitor mix, while a dedicated mix control blends the microphone signal with computer audio in real time.

Cardioid Condenser Capsule for Focused Vocal Capture

The fixed-charge, permanently polarized condenser element delivers a smooth, extended frequency response that flatters spoken word and sung vocals. A cardioid polar pattern isolates the source directly in front of the mic while minimizing pickup from the sides and rear, helping reduce room reflections and keyboard noise during desktop recording.

• Polar Pattern: Cardioid — directional pickup focused on the speaker's voice.
• Capsule Type: Pre-polarized condenser — high sensitivity with stable, low-noise operation.
• Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz — full-range capture covering vocal warmth and airy detail.

High-Resolution A/D Converter for Broadcast-Quality Audio

An onboard analog-to-digital converter handles the entire signal chain inside the microphone, supporting multiple sample rates and bit depths. The maximum 24-bit / 96 kHz setting preserves transient detail and dynamic range for podcast mastering, music production, and live streaming.

• Bit Depth: 16-bit / 24-bit — selectable for compact voice files or studio-grade recording.
• Sample Rate: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 kHz — covers music production, broadcast, and high-resolution capture.
• Power Requirements: USB power (5 V DC) — bus-powered from the host computer.

USB-C Output, Metal Body, Out-of-the-Box Setup

A USB Type-C port on the underside connects directly to a computer, with the included 2 m USB-C to USB-A cable plus a USB-A to USB-C adapter covering modern and legacy ports. The all-metal housing and metal mesh grille protect the capsule, while the included desk stand and threaded mount adapter let the mic mount on a wide range of stands and boom arms.

• Output Connector: USB Type-C — single-cable digital audio and power.
• Dimensions: 142 mm length × 52 mm body diameter — compact body that fits standard shock mounts.
• Weight: 373 g — substantial metal build that stays stable on the included desk stand.
• Package Contents: Microphone stand, threaded mount adapter, 2 m USB-C to USB-A cable, USB-A to USB-C adapter — everything needed to start recording immediately.
