Product Description
If you're looking for your first condenser microphone, this is the one! How about a condenser microphone that can properly record singing videos and home recordings?
The Audio-Technica AT2020 is an ideal model for your first condenser microphone. It is sufficient for learning the characteristics and setup methods of condenser microphones. While it cannot match microphones costing over 100,000 yen, with proper setup, you can achieve sound quality that belies its entry-level classification. As a recording equipment for slightly higher-quality singing videos, or as a secondary microphone for those already experienced in recording, this could be a good choice.
The AT2020 is a high-cost-performance model that delivers studio-quality sound despite being entry-level.
