The AT2020USB-X is a reimagining of the popular AT2020USB+ microphone. The AT2020USB-X was specially designed to meet the needs of content creators, making it the best microphone for streaming, podcasting, recording music, gaming and video recording. This Audio-Technica microphone offers the critically acclaimed, award-winning sound of the original AT2020 with the convenience of a plug-and-play USB-C operation with a custom desk stand. This content creator microphone ensures extremely clear, natural sound reproduction thanks to the high-resolution A/D convertor (up to 24-bit/96 kHz sampling rate). This USB-C microphone proves itself to be a high-quality microphone for recording music at home by using directional pickup (cardioid) that keeps the focus on your voice or another chosen sound source.
