The lack of an analog gain before digital conversion; The difficulty to record percussion instruments or sources at very high volumes without digitally clipping the mic due to the reason stated above; The difficulty or even impossibility to use it with other mics/soundcards

First off, I am not a professional in this field. In fact this is the most expensive microphone that I have ever used. However that means I went into this blind and I have a pretty different perspective in this field. This prouduct was very easy to use. I just plugged it in and it worked.

overall great buy for entry level, can't complain for the price to performance level

- Economical Entry level option; - good buy when on sale

- built in - USB plug and play is good for simple voice over..; but I can hear very minor noise being introduced via usb plug if you use headphones

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 Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ captures clear sound for both music and podcasting, but cheaper microphones offer better audio quality.

The microphone; desk stand and base are made of sturdy metal

The microphone is too heavy for the tripod stand; causing the stand to tip easily

Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ Review

What is great about this USB model is its travel efficient. Using the converter to connect to your computer and dealing with cord and cables is such a hassle. The sound quality is really great for this price range and I love the fact you can monitor yourself thru the microphone. Such a good touch.

My podcast is sounding great with the addition of the AT2020. No additional applications or downloads to get it running. Highly recommended!
