Built for creators

The AT2020USB-X is a cardioid condenser microphone with USB Type-C connectivity designed for podcasters, vocalists and streamers. It captures speech and music at 24-bit / 96 kHz resolution through a high-quality A/D converter. A built-in headphone jack with volume control and a mic mute button allow direct monitoring and quick silencing. A mix blend function lets you balance microphone input with computer playback.

Solo voice focus

The directional cardioid pattern rejects sound from the sides and rear, keeping the focus on a single speaker or instrument in untreated rooms. Plug-and-play operation removes the need for an external audio interface or driver installation on modern systems. Buyers who require multiple simultaneous inputs, XLR connectivity or hardware DSP processing should look at a different solution.

24-bit 96 kHz headroom

The converter provides 24-bit depth and a 96 kHz sample rate, giving clean dynamic range for spoken word, vocals and acoustic sources. The included 6.6 ft USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable and conversion adapter cover most desktop setups, while the AT8702 desk stand and threaded adapter support standard boom arms. Very loud sources placed extremely close may overload the capsule despite the headroom.

Questions about this item

Does this microphone need an audio interface or can it connect straight to my computer?

It connects straight to a computer with a USB Type-C cable; no separate audio interface is required.

Can I mount the AT2020USB-X on my existing boom arm that uses a 5/8"-27 thread?

Yes, the box includes a 3/8"-16 to 5/8"-27 threaded adapter so it fits standard boom arms.

How can I confirm the microphone is capturing at 24-bit 96 kHz after I plug it in?

Check the sample-rate setting in your recording software or operating-system sound panel; it should show 24-bit 96 kHz when the device is selected.
