Rated 2 out of 5

Great mic quality, Horrible bugs

This microphone came brand new. I was excited to try it, until i learned about all of the issues it comes with. if you switch your input device at all then switch back, the mic will break into static. if you decide to press the mute button, The microphone doesn't know how to unmute itself (this issue came in after only 1 day of use). I've had a much better experience with mics with only half as good sound quality, and it is more worth going for those instead of getting this. I really enjoy the sound quality, it just comes with a huge amount of major issues that shouldn't come with a mic valued at this price.

About Audio-Technica AT2020USB-XP

What sets the AT2020USB-XP Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone apart is its ability to offer streamers, podcasters, and digital content creators a professional-grade audio solution. This microphone is a successor of the acclaimed AT2020, and it comes packed with studio-grade features and advanced digital technology that ensure superior sound quality.

The AT2020USB-XP is designed to keep the focus on your chosen sound source, thanks to its cardioid directional pick-up and onboard noise reduction. This feature, accessible from the microphone's base, offers three levels of noise reduction, allowing you to customize your audio output based on your recording environment.

The AT2020USB-XP microphone also offers digital control with its automatic gain control feature. This ensures a consistent output level, regardless of the volume of your voice. The LED indicator on the microphone body conveniently displays the current noise reduction setting and the status of the automatic gain control.

The AT2020USB-XP also features a touch-sensitive mute button on the microphone body for easy control during breaks or unexpected interruptions. The LED light changes from blue to red to indicate when the audio is muted.

This microphone is equipped with a USB-C output and includes a USB-C to USB-A cable and a USB-A to USB-C adapter for maximum compatibility. The package also includes a custom-designed pop filter, a 3/8"-16 to 5/8"-27 threaded adapter, and a custom microphone desk stand for a stable and secure base.
