Audio-Technica AT2020

The Audio-Technica AT2020 is one I’ve had for years, and I’ve recorded a lot on it. It’s basically plug-and-play, cardioid, and it gives me a crisp, bright vocal sound that sits great for R&B/hip-hop vocals. For the price, it’s one of the best mics ever under $100 to me.

Pros

+Crisp, bright vocal sound
+Cardioid pattern helps reject side/rear noise
+Affordable and sturdy
+Available in USB versions for easy setup

Cons

-Not really meant for low-end sounds (bass is attenuated)
-Needs phantom power if using the XLR version
