Audio-Technica AT2010 – The cardioid condenser microphone that delivers studio quality on stage
The AT2010 is a condenser microphone designed for live vocals, engineered to provide singers and performers the same clarity, precision, and intelligibility as studio microphones from the 20 Series. It features the same 16 mm low-mass diaphragm as the renowned studio microphone AT2020, known for its transparency and natural sound.
With its extended frequency response and excellent transient response, the AT2010 delivers a pure, balanced, and faithful sound, perfectly suited for soloists, jazz performances, places of worship, and any situation where vocal clarity and pitch accuracy are essential.
The cardioid pattern effectively reduces side and rear pickup, providing better vocal isolation and improved monitor control. Its robust metal construction ensures reliable use over many years, even in demanding stage environments.
The AT2010 also features a multi-layer grille that minimizes plosives, sibilance, and breath sounds without compromising high-frequency clarity. It can handle a high sound pressure level and offers exceptional dynamic range, enhancing its versatility.
Supplied with a Quiet-Flex™ shock mount, a 5/8”-27 → 3/8”-16 adapter, and a soft protective pouch, the AT2010 is stage-ready right out of the box.
