The AT2020USB-V is an excellent option for semi-professional recording, despite the fact that it is not suitable for all users. The extraordinary sensitivity of this condenser microphone is simultaneously its greatest strength and its worst flaw.
It’s a good option for recording voice if you have the necessary recording space, so keep that in mind. The newly added capabilities are a good complement to it, and the fact that it connects via USB-C makes it very simple to use.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]This Audio-Technica device, much like the majority of USB mics that are brought into our offices, has a look that is more reminiscent of a recording studio than it is of gaming accessories. To tell you the truth, that makes us extremely happy. When we’re trying to record something, the last thing we want is for a bewildering assortment of RGB lights to distract us and make us forget what we were about to say or play.
The desktop stand is constructed in the form of a tripod, much like the stands you would use with a kick drum microphone such as the AKG D112. You do not need to be concerned about the microphone falling to the ground in the middle of your WWE podcast since the tripod arms lock securely into place, despite the fact that they may give the appearance of being rather frail.
Nevertheless, because there are so many hinges and screws involved, adjusting and balancing it can be a bit of a hassle. For this reason, we prefer the more straightforward choices offered by Razer and Beyerdynamic, in which a single massive piece of metal serves as the stand’s foundation.
Gain and volume controls, as well as a headphone monitoring input and a monitoring level adjuster, are all located around the centre of the USB microphone and are controlled by thumb wheels. These controls are on the microphone itself.
It goes without saying that this is not a high-end microphone; nonetheless, for the majority of users, this will not make much of a difference. It possesses far more quality than is required, and the inclusion of a USB interface unquestionably makes its application easier.
For instance, it is not difficult to generate some videos that are at least passable and quickly upload them on YouTube. In addition to this microphone, all that will be required will be a webcam that is operational.
Also, when you post your movies, the sound is downsampled, which means that even a microphone that costs a thousand dollars will sound relatively the same. When it comes to podcasting, you won’t ever need a high-end microphone again, according to this new development.
