Audio-Technica AT-2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The Audio-Technica AT2020 is one of the best-selling studio condenser microphones ever made: the mic that brought genuine studio quality to home recording, and still the default first condenser recommendation two decades on.
Its side-address cardioid condenser capsule captures vocals, acoustic instruments, podcasts and streams with clarity and detail far beyond its price, with a wide dynamic range and high max SPL that also handles loud sources confidently. The cardioid pattern rejects sound from the rear to reduce room noise, and the rugged all-metal construction survives years of daily use.
It runs on standard 48V phantom power over XLR and includes a stand mount and pouch. DjLab supplies genuine Audio-Technica in Lebanon with USD pricing, warranty handled locally, and fast delivery.
