Critically Acclaimed Sound with 24-Bit / 192 kHz Resolution

Audio-Technica's cutting-edge design and manufacturing techniques ensure that this microphone upholds the company's renowned consistency and reliability standards. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the speaker or performer in front of the capsule, minimizing unwanted background noise—particularly beneficial in untreated studios or podcasting environments. The AT2020USB-XP boasts a smooth and extended frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a high-resolution A/D converter with up to 24-bit / 192 kHz sampling rate, ensuring accurate sound reproduction that's ideal for streaming, podcasting, music production, and video content creation. Engage the automatic gain control for consistent microphone output level, and utilize the built-in noise reduction control with three selectable levels or none at all.

Convenient Headphone Monitoring

The AT2020USB-XP includes a built-in headphone jack with volume control, allowing direct monitoring of the microphone's signal without any delay. The high-output internal headphone amplifier provides exceptional clarity, musical detail, and increased overall volume. The handy mix control permits blending of the microphone's audio with computer audio, making it perfect for overdubbing to a music bed.

Silent Mute Button for Podcasting and Streaming

For private moments, the microphone features a silent, soft-touch capacitive mute button located on its body for quick and noiseless muting. A two-state LED indicator ring lights up in blue to signal USB power reception and turns red when the microphone is muted.
