side-address condenser microphone —
NSCA EXPO, ORLANDO, FL — Audio-Technica’s

sound quality extremely affordable for podcast production as well as
for studio and remote broadcast applications. This rugged side-address
condenser microphone offers the performance advantages of a high-quality
studio microphone at an entry-level price.
Designed for versatile performance in the most demanding

diaphragm, providing extended frequency response plus the ability to

pattern for isolation of the desired sound source, and offers excellent
performance specifications, including a flat, extended frequency response
(20 – 20,000 Hz), high SPL handling capability (144 dB), and a
wide dynamic range (124 dB). The microphone has been tailored for a
very smooth, natural sound with maximum accuracy, making it a perfect
complement for today’s digital recording equipment.
The AT2020 comes standard with a pivoting, threaded stand
mount, which attaches securely for easy and precise placement. The microphone
requires 48V phantom power that may be provided by a mixer/console or
a separate, in-line source such as the Audio-Technica AT8801 single-channel
and CP8506 four-channel phantom power supplies. Output from the AT2020
is via a low-impedance, 3-pin XLRM-type connector. In addition, the
AT2020 measures 6.38" long, has a maximum body diameter of 2.05",
weighs 12.1 oz., and comes with a soft protective carrying pouch.
The AT2020 is currently available with a U.S. MSRP of
