Audio Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Versatile cardioid polar pattern

Cardioid microphones are an essential tool for any studio and are known for their ability to reject outside noise, such as in live performances or in a noisy environment. The AT2020 is a versatile condenser microphone that can handle everything from vocals to spoken-word applications with ease. 

The Cardioid polar pattern is perfect for a huge range of applications, sensitivity at the front of the microphone and significantly less at the sides and rear. A cardioid pattern reduces the capture of ambient noise and unwanted sound sources so your music will come through clear and crisp.
