The new AT2020 USB offers studio-quality articulation and intelligibility. It plugs right into your computer's USB port, and functions seamlessly with your favorite recording software. Equipped with a USB digital output, the AT2020 USB is perfect for home studio recording, field recording, podcasting, and voiceover use. <br/><b>Based on the renowned AT2020</b> <br/>The AT2020 USB is based on the design of Audio-Technica's critically acclaimed AT2020 cardioid condenser microphone. Like the AT2020, it features a low-mass diaphragm, custom-engineered for extended frequency response and superior transient response. <br/>With low self-noise, the AT2020 USB is perfectly suited for sophisticated digital recording equipment. Audio-Technica's state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure that the microphone complies with the company's renowned consistency and reliability standards. <br/>Experience AT2020 USB. Plug it in and transform your sound.<br/>
what is special about this mic. i am looking into buying it but not sure what is so nice about it. kind of new to music so.
--Overall high level of performance, especially:
--Very low self noise, so no hiss
--High sensitivity and strong output signal
--Cardioid pickup pattern; many others are hyper-cardioid pattern which has a rear-facing lobe that defeats noise rejection to the rear of the microphone. Cardioid mics reject sounds coming from the rear (which are usually noise). Omni-directional mics don't reject sound from any direction. Figure-8 mics only reject sounds from the sides, not the rear. Only true cardioid mics reject sounds from the rear--a cardinal virtue because the rear of the mic can be pointed toward a noise source (audience, noisy recorder or video camera, etc.) and will substantially reduce the noise level in the output..
--High maximum SPL (sound pressure level) so that output signal remains undistorted even with extremely loud sounds
--High max SPL - low noise = Wide Dynamic Range
--High quality of build
--USB port allows direct plug-in to computer USB port (no preamp or mixer needed) and receives power from the computer's USB port (no Phantom power or batteries required).
--Modest cost compared to mics of similar quality.
I hope this helps.
