Headphones may be plugged into the 3.5mm mini-jack socket on the side of the mic and there are on-board controls to adjust the headphone level, while another adjusts the balance between the direct signal from the mic (for latency-free monitoring) and the computer’s stereo output. As well transmitting the signal from the microphone itself, the USB connection also streams stereo audio back from the computer. The Audio Technica AT2020 USB+ features 16-bit A-D conversion (which can accommodate a dynamic range of over 90dB) and a sample rate of 44.1kHz. There are no pads or filters required due to the AT2020 USB+’s high SPL capability. The signal-to-noise ratio of 74dB (1kHz at 1Pa) equates to a self-noise or EIN figure of 20dB which is low for typical close-miked studio applications, which is precisely what the AT20202 USB+ is intended for. A blue LED lights up inside the basket when the mic is powered up. Power is drawn from the USB port with the standard full-size USB connector taking the place of the usual XLR socket. Its back-electret capsule features a low-mass diaphragm with a superb frequency response in excess of 20Hz to 16kHz and an impressive maximum SPL handling of 144dB (1kHz at 1% THD).

The Audio Technica AT2020+ is a side-address, cardioid microphone with a 16mm diameter (medium-sized) diaphragm. Audio Technica is also a leading OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and manufacture a wide range of hand-held and wireless microphones for many of the World’s microphone brands.
