Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 60 years, announces the launch of the AT2020USB-XPCardioid Condenser USB Microphone – the latest addition to A-T’s lineup of 20 Series content creation products. The AT2020USB-XP is designed for streamers, podcasters and other content creators.
Building on A-T’s most recent USB condenser model, the AT2020USB-X, the AT2020USB-XP includes the same silent touch-sensitive mute switch, built-in headphone jack with volume control and personal mix control to allow for monitoring of the microphone, as well as plug-and-play USB-Type C operation. Additions and improvements for the AT2020USB-XP include a 24-bit 192 kHz sampling rate, three levels of noise reduction (via selector switch with LED indicator), automatic gain control (with LED indicator), and the inclusion of a clip-on pop filter.
“The microphone’s directional pickup (cardioid) keeps the focus on your voice or other chosen sound source, while its high-resolution A/D converter ensures extremely clear, natural sound reproduction,” the announcement states. A two-state LED indicator ring lights blue to indicate that microphone is receiving USB power and lights red when audio is muted at the microphone. The LED indicator also blinks when peak audio level is reached.
The microphone comes with a custom desk stand and clip-on pop filter, 3/8"-16 to 5/8"-27 threaded adapter, and 10-foot (3.1 m) USB-C to USB-A cable with a USB-A to USB-C adapter. he AT8455 shock mount, to absorb vibration noise, is sold separately.
