Nice pop on Polar Pickup Pattern. 🙂
Nice review, however the XLR + Phantom Powered Version would sound much better. Still great review.
the new version has controlled on the actual MIC.
jurassic difference
You can also get the Audio-Technica ATR2500-USB currently for 80 bucks on amazon and it’s just as good as that one…
your little chart looks like a butt
I would like to use this mic for twitch streaming but how do I edit it’s settings like muting it or changing the bass sound and stuff. I have the mic and power supply
Blue Eaity ?
“Need a great USB mic, but don’t know which is your best option? The AT2020 is by far the winner because I get paid when you buy it through my link!”
can i use it 8 to 12 feet or more from my face… or do i need to be real close to the mic…
which is better rode nt usb or at2020
I have this Mic (usb) why does mine sound awful ?? can you show what settings please
Hey there. I have the AT2020 XLR version and i love it but i can´t get voice without background noise. The mic is so good that picks everything, even noise from outside my house. I tried recording really low, mouth closer to the mic and then edit with noise removal but i can never get good results and when i manage to get rid of the noise i cant do it without messing the audio. Really frustrated cause this mic is amazing. Do you have any suggestions?
The P is fucking my ears.i ghuess i need to buy an op filter!
Review the Samson cs1 I use it. It’s a good sounding mic for 40-50 bucks
Nice Review! Do you need to use a headset or can you use The Audio Technica AT2020 alone?
By close voice usage how close do you mean? Will it pick up if I’m about half an arm’s length away or less? (Sitting normally in my chair with the microphone beside my keyboard.)
1:26 why u showing me a butt?!
wats better xlr or usb?
Is it normal that it picks up all sounds even thoguh its behind it ? mine does that :/
jurassic ?
Does it have a mute? For when my mom goes in my room telling me to go fucking outside while streaming?
1:26 why u showing me a butt?!
I still hear white / buzzing noises through the AT on this video. It pisses me off. If I’m going to pay over $100 for a microphone, I want it not to have shitty horrible feedback.
or a butt shape
THANKS. Well demonstrated
1:23 it looks like a butt
I am going to get it, but not from Amazon, gonna get it from a place where I live 😉 But this seems like a great microphone, thanks for the review 🙂
The pickup pattern is more like a butt shape… not heart shape.. come on..
Yes, this high end usb connector, that was on literally every usb device like 10 years ago xD
1:26 BUTTUMINATI CONFIRMED LOL LMFAO SUK MY DIK
If I were to buy the mic would I need to buy the cable or does it come with it??
Dude, can you please tell which camera you’re using to record this video? I’m looking for one to buy and this one has a great image.
The audio technica at2020usb usb+ up is way better
I only have one question !
Does it have a latency ? I really don’t wanna try to stream and then find out that my voice is heard not at the same time as I speak.
Thank you
what audio recording system are you using?
LOL, you need a pop screen.
I Use the Audio Technica 2020USB and it is a Really good Mic 😉
The Shure-pg42 is better.
Help! There is a very annoying mild buzzing in the background, it’s coming from my computer and not my mic. I tried several tests with different things in sound forge audio studio 10, and it sounds a lot like a computer fan or static. I also have a Lenovo edge 15 laptop, so I don’t know if that might be the problem.
I’ll take a printer USB connector over a very small thin and fragile microUSB connector anyday.
you should specify in the title that you’re reviewing the USB version of the mic as it is not the same mic as the at2020 XLR
