Building on Audio-Technica's most recent USB condenser model, the AT2020USB-X microphone, the AT2020USB-XP includes the same silent touch-sensitive mute switch, built-in headphone jack with volume control and personal mix control to allow for monitoring of the microphone, as well as plug-and-play USB-Type C operation. Additions and improvements for the AT2020USB-XP include a 24-bit/192kHz sampling rate, three levels of noise reduction (via selector switch with LED indicator), automatic gain control (with LED indicator), and the inclusion of a clip-on pop filter.
Expanding on the advantages of a USB microphone, Audio-Technica added internal digital processing features. This allows adjusting the AT2020USB-XP to the source and environment with no software required and no added latency. Users can simply select between three levels of noise reduction to account for any unwanted room noise and activate the automatic gain control to maintain consistent output levels – no matter how loud or soft their voice.
The microphone’s directional pickup (cardioid) keeps the focus on the user's voice or other chosen sound source, while its high-resolution A/D converter ensures extremely clear, natural sound reproduction. A two-state LED indicator ring lights blue to indicate that microphone is receiving USB power and lights red when audio is muted at the microphone. The LED indicator also blinks when peak audio level is reached.
The microphone comes with a custom desk stand that provides a stable and secure base, clip-on pop filter, 3/8"-16 to 5/8"-27 threaded adapter, and 10-foot (3.1 m) USB-C to USB-A cable with a USB-A to USB-C adapter. The AT8455 shock mount, to effectively absorb vibration noise, is sold separately.
