There’s a lovely mid range warmth to the AT2020’s sound that suits vocal recordings and acoustic instruments especially.
Luckily 99% of modern audio interfaces come with phantom power included. You’ll also need an interface that provides 48V phantom power run the AT2020. The AT2020 also has an impressive frequency range of 20Hz – 20kHz, so you’re not losing any low end frequencies in your recordings. Good news for home studio set ups, where external noise (computer fans, traffic noise or your upstairs neighbour’s tap dancing lessons, for example) can sometimes be picked up when recording. Which means it will pick up sound that’s in front of it (the front and back of the microphone is specified on the casing). The Audio Technica AT2020 is a fixed cardio pattern micropho ne. It simply sounds fantastic in pretty much every situation. There’s a reason this microphone has become so popular among musicians, podcasters and especially YouTube creators in recent years. You get a whole lot of microphone for your moolah here. That feeling that the microphone really over delivers on it’s modest price tag continues through set up and testing. While not the most feature rich piece of kit in the world (you won’t find and frequency switches or volume dials here) the AT2020 has got it where it counts: sound quality and build quality. Having said that, accessory wise it’s slim pickings: The microphone comes packaged with a soft vinyl zipped case and a basic threaded stand mount. The first thing I thought when popping my shiny new Audio Technica AT2020 out of it’s box was ‘Wow, this doesn’t look like it cost under £100’.
