Based on the Renowned AT2020
The AT2020 USB is a side-address studio condenser based on the design of Audio-Technica's critically acclaimed AT2020 cardioid condenser microphone, which can be found in studios worldwide. Like the AT2020, it features a low-mass diaphragm, custom-engineered for extended frequency response and superior transient response. The Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source.
Digital-Ready
With low self-noise, the AT2020 USB is perfectly suited for sophisticated digital recording equipment. Audio-Technica's state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure that the microphone complies with the company's renowned consistency and reliability standards.
This means you'll get crystal-clear, natural sound for podcasting, home studio recording, field recording, and voiceover use.

I've had this condenser microphone for about a month now and it's suited my purposes well. I needed something to record podcasts with and do some voiceover work as well. I do my recording with Audacity, and the microphone was imediately recognized and basically installed as my primary microphone for Audacity. It is a sensitive mic, and I had to build a small "porta-booth"to reduce the echo in the room where I record, but could get nice clear recording after that. I recomend using a pop filter with this microphone to help reduce "S" & "P" sybillance. All in all, an excellent microphone for the cost.
