Audio-Technica AT2020USB-XP – Premium cardioid USB microphone for streaming, podcasting & content creation
The Audio-Technica AT2020USB-XP is a high-definition cardioid USB microphone designed to deliver professional-quality sound for streamers, podcasters, video creators and musicians. It inherits the award-winning sonic signature of the renowned AT2020 while integrating advanced digital technologies: built-in noise reduction, automatic gain control, direct monitoring and a premium 24-bit / 192 kHz A/D converter.
Thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, the AT2020USB-XP efficiently isolates the user’s voice by reducing unwanted background noise. Three levels of noise reduction are available directly on the microphone body, allowing the user to adapt to any recording environment, from a quiet office to a more reverberant room.
The microphone also integrates automatic gain control, ensuring a consistent output level whether you speak softly or loudly. The status LED provides at-a-glance feedback to confirm whether noise reduction is active, as well as the status of auto gain for simplified operation.
With its premium 24-bit / 192 kHz A/D converter, the AT2020USB-XP delivers transparent, rich and natural sound. It offers direct, latency-free monitoring thanks to a 3.5 mm headphone output with built-in volume control, along with a Mix control to balance microphone and computer audio.
For everyday convenience, it features a silent touch-sensitive mute button with blue/red LED indication, and a USB-C output for maximum modern compatibility. It comes bundled with a stable desktop stand, a dedicated pop filter, a threaded adapter and all required cables.
Robust, intuitive and fully equipped, the AT2020USB-XP adapts to all types of content creation: voice-over, streaming, singing, podcasting or home recording. It provides professional audio quality without any software or external interface – a reliable and efficient tool for all creators.
