This is an awesome condenser mic for the first time Podcaster or VO artist. Most pros will steer you away from a USB mic, but unless you want to drop a lot of money on other equipment, USB is the way to go for a beginner.

Clarity; Quality; USB (for noobs

Not high end USB (for pros

Purchased this product as a birthday present for my daughter. The picture shows USB connection; however, when it arrived, it wasn't the USB model - disappointing.

It runs off phantom power so if you are planning on using this for your computer I would suggest getting the USB version, i have heard nothing but good things about both microphones, Just wish i would've know I would need another device to make it work on my computor.

Audio Technica is no stranger to those who demand quality audio products. and with the AT2020, they've just raised the price/performance bar for studio quality condensers. _______________________________________________________________________ The AT2020 is a side-address condenser mic, with a...

1) Support: Got an question? Give Audio Technica a call and speak to Dave the audio pro; 2) Bang-for-the-Buck: The AT2020 quite simply outclasses anything available at this price

The AT2020 is a great USB condenser mic. The quality you will get from it is truely excellent. Fantastic range and clarity, plug and play setup. I would recommend picking up a pop filter if you plan to use it as it will pickup those sounds from your voice and its important to eliminate them.

The AT2020 is the kind of a mic that you would want to have if you are mainly recording from home. Because its very affordable and it will get the job done and decent. It will not give you great quality from home and you cant expect to get great quality unless you are willing to spend great money...

I am very satisfied with this product ... excellent quality, very stylish look, no complains thanks very nice quality crisp clear sound

This is an awesome mic for the price. I use mine for professional commercial voice-overs. Teamed with a dbx286 channel strip, I get really clean recordings that fit my voice just right.
