A Modern Evolution of the AT2020USB+ for Creators
The new generation of the renowned AT2020USB+, the AT2020USB-X carries forward the "studio" DNA that made the AT2020 series famous, while optimizing the user experience for content creation. The addition of USB-C simplifies integration into current setups (PC, Mac, streaming stations), and the form factor remains designed for desktop use thanks to the included table stand.
Streaming, Podcasting, Voice-over, Home Studio: Who Is It For?
The AT2020USB-X is designed for creators who want a clean and present voice without a complex audio chain. It is perfectly suited for streamers, podcasters, educators, gamers, and videographers, as well as home studio musicians who want to record vocals, acoustic guitar, or quick takes with excellent clarity. Its cardioid directivity facilitates work in untreated rooms by focusing the capture on the intended source.
Features Designed for Smooth and Professional Recording
24-bit / 96 kHz Conversion: Precision and Naturalness
The high-resolution A/D converter preserves nuances, dynamics, and articulation of the voice, with a wide and even frequency response. The result: a more "studio" sound, ideal for podcasting, voice-over, and home music recording.
Direct Monitoring: Zero Latency, Full Control
Thanks to the built-in headphone output, you listen to the microphone signal in real time. The Mix control helps you precisely balance your voice and the computer audio (game, music, guests, DAW), while the headphone volume control and dedicated amplifier ensure a comfortable level.
Touch Mute and LED: Immediate Control Live
The touch Mute button easily and silently cuts the audio, practical for live situations. The LED indicator allows you to check the status at a glance (USB power or Audio Mute), useful for streaming and videoconferencing.
