Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ Cardioid Condenser Microphone (USB connection) for voiceover, podcasting, streaming and recording

Product Information

Where possible I try to keep my microphone mounted off-camera when live streaming, which puts me around 30cm from the mic. It works with any audio recording software on PC or Mac and comes with a tripod desk stand with folding legs.

Whereas I can highly recommend the AT2020USB+ for those that fit within its strengths, these other two mics fall more into the “ok” area, with the ATR2500X-USB definitely sounding better the ATR2005USB, but not as good as the AT2020USB+. I never sounded distant to a fault from this range, but it did start to water the sound down further and do away with any level of ‘broadcast’ feel that some creators may like. The Audio Technica AT2020USB+ is a USB condenser microphone ideal for studio applications, podcasting and field recording. In addition, the stand can be removed so the microphone can be mounted on a boom arm or mic stand thanks to a 3/8" to 5/8" threaded adapter. unique web browser id used to track data from Microsoft Bing and its services/functions connected such as Clarity.A soft-touch capacitive mute button on body to quickly and silently mute audio at the microphone whilst a two-state LED indicator ring, positioned behind the grille of the microphone illuminates blue to signify power on status, and red when the microphone is muted.

The included tripod stand is fine and, thankfully, brings a smaller overall footprint than the one Rode included with the XCM-50.I'm curious if there's any other merit to it in terms of sound or anything else compared to the 2020.
