Audio-Technica AT2020USB-XP USB Condenser Microphone with DSP

The Audio-Technica AT2020USB-XP is a professional-grade USB condenser microphone designed for streamers, podcasters, and musicians who require studio-quality audio in a plug-and-play format. This microphone builds upon the award-winning sound of the original AT2020 by integrating advanced onboard digital processing to manage sound environments without the need for external software. The cardioid directional pickup pattern ensures the microphone focuses on the primary sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise.

Advanced Onboard Digital Signal Processing

The AT2020USB-XP features integrated digital technology that allows users to customize their audio performance directly on the hardware.

Noise Reduction and Automatic Gain Control

Users can select from three distinct levels of noise reduction or disable the feature entirely via a switch on the base of the microphone. This functionality allows the device to account for various room environments and unwanted ambient sounds. Additionally, the built-in automatic gain control maintains a consistent microphone output level. This feature ensures audio remains stable regardless of whether the user is speaking softly or loudly.

High-Resolution Audio Conversion

The microphone utilizes a high-resolution A/D converter that supports recording sampling rates up to 24-bit/192 kHz. This advanced hardware provides crystal-clear and natural sound reproduction, capturing the nuances of vocal performances and instrumental recordings for high-quality content creation.

Real-Time Monitoring and Control

Integrated controls on the microphone body provide immediate feedback and adjustments during recording sessions.

• Zero-Latency Monitoring: A built-in headphone jack with a high-output amplifier and dedicated volume control enables users to monitor the microphone signal in real time without delay.
• Mix Control: The mix control functionality allows users to blend the live microphone signal with audio playback from a computer.
• Capacitive Mute Button: A touch-sensitive button located on the microphone body facilitates silent muting. A two-state LED indicator ring turns blue when the microphone is active and red when it is muted.

Versatile Connectivity and Accessories

The AT2020USB-XP utilizes a USB-C output for modern connectivity and includes several accessories to support professional setups. The package contains a custom-designed pop filter to protect against plosive sounds and a custom desk stand that provides a stable, secure base on flat surfaces. For expanded mounting options, the microphone includes a 3/8"-16 to 5/8"-27 threaded adapter. The device is also compatible with the AT8455 Shock Mount, which is sold separately, to further reduce vibration-induced noise.
