Audio Technica AT2010

A stage condenser in the spirit of the 20 series

The Audio-Technica AT2010 brings the DNA of the 20 series into a handheld microphone format designed for the stage. Its approach is clear: to offer a "studio" signature (definition, finesse, intelligibility) in a robust vocal microphone that is easy to set up. Thanks to its 16 mm low-mass diaphragm, identical to that of the AT2020, the AT2010 positions itself as a top choice for singers and speakers who want more detail than a dynamic microphone provides, while maintaining a familiar grip and professional standard connectivity.

Who and what for: solo vocals, jazz, speech, and places of worship

The AT2010 is aimed at artists and technicians seeking a clear and nuanced voice : soloists, featured choristers, jazz singers, as well as all situations where lyric intelligibility is paramount. In houses of worship, conferences, or events, it highlights articulation and presence, helping to keep the message clear without pushing the volume excessively. It is also suitable for stages where capturing timbral subtleties, controlled breaths, and fine attacks is desired, delivering a more detailed reproduction than a traditional dynamic microphone.

Performance designed for the stage, with condenser precision

16 mm diaphragm for detailed reproduction

The heart of the AT2010 is its 16 mm low-mass diaphragm, designed to respond quickly to dynamic variations and micro-details of the voice. The result: clearer consonants, better harmonic definition, and a sense of proximity that facilitates placing the voice in the mix, even at moderate volume levels.

Level handling and dynamic range

With a maximum sound pressure level of 136 dB SPL and a typical dynamic range of 113 dB, the AT2010 handles energetic vocal performances comfortably. This headroom helps maintain a stable and controlled voice, whether during soft passages or powerful crescendos, while staying true to the performer's tone.

Simple integration in professional setups

The microphone connects via a 3-pin XLR and operates with 48 V phantom power, standard on most mixing consoles and sound preamps. For convenience, the included accessories (mic clip and thread adapter) allow quick setup during rehearsals, on stage, or in places of worship, with a protective case for transport.
