Audio-Technica - AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Studio XLR Microphone, Black

The NT1 Signature Series is the new edition of the iconic RØDE NT1 studio condenser microphone. With the same warm, silky character that has made the NT1 the go-to microphone for millions of creators, the NT1 Signature Series delivers classic studio sound for a wide range of applications, from vocal and instrument recording to voice overs, podcasting, streaming and content creation. It features RØDE’s HF6 1-inch true condenser capsule, which delivers rich bass, detailed midrange and sparkling top end, with a smooth frequency response and tight cardioid polar pattern. Extremely low noise of just 4dB ensures every recording is incredibly clean and high SPL handling capabilities mean the NT1 Signature Series excels at recording multiple levels of sounds, making it a true studio workhorse. The NT1 Signature Series comes with a studio-grade shock mount, pop filter and XLR cable, and is made from premium components in RØDE’s precision facilities in Sydney, Australia.

The Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone is designed to bring sonic performance distilled from the company's reputable studio condensers to the realm of home recording for podcasters, musicians, and content creators. The capsule features a low-mass, side-address diaphragm with a cardioid polar pattern for rejecting ambience and noise behind the mic, a welcome trait when tracking in untreated rooms. It comes with a pivoting stand mount for straightforward attachment to your existing mic stand.
