Audio-Technica also offers the AT2020USB+ and AT2020USBi microphones, which give you the same high-quality performance of the original AT2020, but are engineered to plug directly into a computer, so no adapter is required. Please check to make certain the adapter you choose will work by contacting our Audio Solutions Department. An XLR to 3.5 mm cable won’t fit the bill, either, since, like the USB input, the computer’s 3.5 mm jack won’t provide the necessary phantom power.īut there are plenty of adapters available that will allow you to plug your AT2020 microphone into your computer, properly convert the analog signal to digital, and provide the proper voltage for the microphone. These adapters do work well with dynamic microphones, such as the PRO8HEx microphone, or condenser microphones that receive power by other means (such as the battery with the AT897 microphone). Most XLR to USB cables and adapters won’t work since they don’t, generally, provide the phantom power needed. So you will need to use an adapter to connect the mic to your computer. Also, it is a condenser microphone that, as discussed in our Condenser Microphone Question of the Week, requires phantom power to operate. The AT2020 is a side-address studio microphone that utilizes a standard XLR output. But, as always, you will want to make certain you have the proper setup to ensure that all of your equipment is compatible. The shock mount is compatible with 3/8"-16 and 5/8"-27 threaded stands.Can the AT2020 Microphone Be Used To Record Into a Computer?Īnswer: Yes. It is open in the front to allow easy access to microphone controls and indicators. Optional Accessories: The AT8455 shock mount effectively absorbs vibration noise. Included Accessories: The AT2020USB-X condenser microphone comes with a custom Audio-Technica desk mic stand that provides a stable and secure base, 3/8"-16 to 5/8"-27 threaded adapter, and 6.6' (2 m) USB-C to USB-A cable with a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Whether you are looking for the best streaming microphone or looking to enhance your content creation for YouTube videos, the AT2020USB-X is the optimal choice for all types of content creation.
It also offers a mix control to let you blend the microphone’s audio with audio from the computer, and has a silent touch-sensitive mute button to quickly and easily mute audio at the microphone. The AT2020USB-X features a built-in headphone jack with volume control to let you directly monitor the microphone signal with no delay. The smooth, extended frequency response is also ideally suited for streaming, podcasting, and music and video production.
