Audio-Technica AT2020 5-stars Reviews

Perfect For Streaming

Lovely microphone , been using it for about a year now for streaming and it has done an excelent job at it , would highly recommened it to anyone interested in streaming.

Outstanding for a home studio

Thath's the one of the most outstanding mics in a budget segment:

— Super clear sound, ;

— Great quality: sturdy sold metal, can handle some difficult environment;

— Great for beginners, in a home studio, can serve you for many years.

The only drawbacks I found:

— Picks up some noise;

— Haven't got any features.

Works well with voice, guitars, reeds and overheads.

My always on mic!

I use it to stream lessons for music school students, to record voices, to play musical instrument amplifiers, and much more, one of the best microphones in my studio cheap, durable and high quality, negative comments 0, also, its biggest positive is that it is quite economical and in this money of the category there is no one else to do such a reliable job

unbelievable

I dont understand how s even posiible to have such a great quality product in such a low price

well done to Audio Technica

Very good quality

Works very well for whatever you need it for and is very clear and with good quality. It's perfect for recording podcasts, talking with friends onlie, etc. I have yet to use it to record instruments but it is very good for vocals. I would definitely recommend this.

Pros:

- Good quality

- Clear and concise audio

- Sturdy, strong material

- The back of the mic is very clearly labelled so you don't speak into the wrong side

Cons (for some people):

- Requires 48v which you will need an audio interface for

There honestly aren't many cons, it's a good microphone. I just thought I would include that for anyone wondering.

Price for performance: 10/10

Good multi-purpose mic

I originally bought this mic to record my acoustic guitar, but since then I've used it to record other instruments and even vocals. The sound was always great and I never experienced any problems.

Fantastic microphone

I bought this microphone for home recording as an upgrade from Sennheiser e935 dynamic mic.

Pros:

- Sturdy metal housing

- Low noise

- Sound clarity

Cons:

- I have to cut mid-high frequencies and add low frequencies to get to my natural voice

This is my first condenser microphone and it's a major difference from recording with my dynamic mic Sennheiser e935, but I definitely think it's a great microphone, especially for the price, that gives you a lot of control over how you mix your vocals.

Overall very happy with my purchase.

The Best for the Price!

Perfect sound, even for vocals or instruments. I use it for broadcast and podcast recording too.

I've heard about this legendary mic, and only when I bought it I understood why everyone is claiming that it's the best!

Sturdy and great sounding condenser mic

I really do love the sound that this condenser mic gives to my vocals, I would describe it as warm. I was a bit hesitant to buy as it the price was so good, I expected quality to be poor. I was wrong. Having used for it for about a year now it is a welcome addition to my home studio set up.

Hard to beat at the price

This microphone has sounded amazing in most friends that I recommended it too! Would recommend again!

Amazing mic

Such a nice microphone either for recording instruments or voice, such a clean sound .

Also nice for streaming or recording podcasts or anything related.

Nice size and weight and very easy to connect to the mic stand.

Great Mic in the price bracket

Really nice sounding mic. We use for creating foley sound effects and it picks up huge amounts of detail. Well built and comes with a really solid mount and a nice case too.

Studio quality Mic

I use it as a home studio mic and it is absolutely fantastic.

I recorded both male and female voices and it records with a good quality.

To enhance your experience I recommend that you buy a pop filter too just to avoid those noises.

Also, have in mind that the mic is a little heavy, so not all articulated mic stands will be able to give you a steady position.

Sturdy

Amazing noise floor and fidelity for the price.

I literally had this microphone drop into a coffe cup, head first, fully submerged and it still works like a dream.

It is a tad sharp, but a pultec style eq clears it right up. My go to for second kick drum mic.

Best Budget Mic

I have used this mic before several times at my friend's recording studio and we never had any problems with it in terms of sound or quality. That's why I knew that this is the mic I was going to get, no questions asked. Anyone who has just started recording and is on a budget, this is the mic for you. Price is incredibly low for the quality of the product and other decent alternatives are almost double!

10/10 would recommend

The perfect microphone for building a budget homerecording studio.

Something amazing

Probably the best sounding microphone for this price. Sometimes sounds better than mics that twice more expensive.

Pros

Great quality mic, made of metal. Sounds awesome, I used it to record vocals, mostly. No noise while recording.

Cons

I found out that i always want cut a little bit around 2-3kHz, and 7 kHz on every vocalist I recorded in my studio. Once I borrowed a Neumann u87 to make a comparison and that problem just disappeared.

In conclusian I may say that I can live with this, for this price it's super awesome. No matter in what studio you use it - a bedroom studio or a professional one. If you don't like how it sounds you better watch your studio acoustic treatment or buy a better preamp.

it's a nice mic

This was my first mic. I've been using it for quite some time now for recording mainly guitar.

I'm very please with what it has to offer and more for the price it costs.

I'm not too experienced in audio, but I've liked the quality of the audio so far. The quality of the material is very good, it feels very solid.
