Excellent Microphone Awesome Price
Average I loved Audio Technica's Headphones that is why I gave this mic a try. If you are too close to the microphone your voice will not be clear. Otherwise I liked it.
just got it It was dellieverd today on time came nicely packed with no problems. I have not used it yet as I am awaiting some additional items ordered from Amazon. I have over 30 years in radio and would really like an EV at 20 but cost got in the way. After reading reviews checking many other posibilities this seemed to be the best deal. I will be useing it to do digital audio production for commercial use in my home studio. After 3/10/12 check out my website at [] and you can hear how well it works. All in all I am looking for a great experience.
No volume control on AT2020 USB I ordered Amazon this microphone and returned. The reson for return is that AT2020 USB has no volume control knob. Thus this microphone is excessively sensitive and easily saturates. I have found several reviewers complained this mocrophone picks up unwanted sounds and distorts the sound when you speak a little louder. This microphone has good sound quality but is not usable to me.After searched on Amazon and other sites I found Yeti from Blue and GTrack from Samson have volume control. Most USB microphones including more expensive models do not have volume control. I ended up with purchasing CEntrance MicPort Pro and using existing microphones.
Great mic This was used on a Windows 7 machine plug and play! We used it for a recorded web conference. As stated this microphone does not pick up noises from the sides or any of the ambient room noises. Used with the spider mount it also did not pick up noise that you get by passing the microphone from person to person.
Love this mic! I've worked with the AT2020 mic for over a year now and I love it. It sounds great and it's so easy to use just plug in the USB. I was afraid I would have problems using it with Vista but it worked fine. Ok so this mic is not a top of the line microphone and this wouldn't work as well as other mics for professional musicians and the like. As is true most mics you will probably want to do some postproduction work. But if you are podcasting doing audio for elearning recording basic voice talent etc. I challenge you to find a better mic in this price range. I did buy a spider mount to go with it so keep that in mind reading this review.
Great Quality for the Price I do some light commentary on gaming videos used to use my Sound Arena Blaster mic. Had HD recordings quality gameplay but sort of muddled mic quality. Decided to get a real standalone mic. This has worked perfectly ordered it with the stand shockmount and popfilter. Great investment.It's nicely built feels pretty sturdy and the cable is a fine length.
Recorded Song Incredible Quality I've been recording several songs with the microphone and I am extremely pleased with the results so far. The recording quality for singing is crisp and clear. Getting the settings right can be a little tricky but it is not the fault of the microphone as it really is a fantastic product. I am using it with audacity and so far so good. The fact that it is a USB device is so incredibly useful. Also the USB chord is pretty long so you shouldn't have any problems with singing or speaking in one location while having your computer in another.If you'd like to hear the song recording for yourself then please visit my Twitter Profile page @_ChrisTeixeira_ and find the Youtube link. It really is great quality and you won't be disappointed. I can not recommend it highly enough for other aspiring artists out there.
A mike for all seasons I've been around broadcasting for decades and so have used many of the standard microphones in the industry the Electrovoice RE20's Sure models etc.The AT 2020 USB is the very first professional grade microphone I've ever actually owned and it was well worth the wait.My first real use of it involved interviewing and recording a family member in a bedroom with no acoustic treatment at all other than a carpet on the floor and a heavy bedspread next to the recording studio.Be aware however if you are recording two people using just the one AT 2020 USB pointed at just one subject only that one subject will be on mike. If you don't care about the interviewer being on mike and will settle only for room noise pickup of the interviewer it works great. This is a cardiod condenser microphone after all where the pickup pattern is one side only. With that hot side still pointed about 18 inches or more away from the subject the AT 2020 USB still did a superb job of picking up the voice even at that distance.Lesson learned use two AT 2020 USB's next time to pick up both sides of the conversation on mike or place both voices on the same side of the mike!As others have reported the default mike stand that comes with the AT 2020 USB is nearly worthless. It makes the mike extremely tippy and is useless if you want to add a shock mount and/or a pop filter. You may also be fooled into thinking in looking at the extremely small thread mount that your microphone won't fit on a standard size mike boom floor stand or desk stand.
