Audio-Technica AT2020 Review and Test - Good For Vocals?

- The Audio-Technica AT2020 cardioid condenser microphone is a great budget choice for recording vocals, acoustic guitars and other acoustic instruments. The AT2020 is a microphone that is popular for recording. It has a high SPL and wide frequency response. It is a side-address microphone, meaning that you speak into the side of the mic, rather than the top. The capsule is cardioid, meaning that it picks up sound from the front of the mic and rejects sound from the sides and back. In this video, I test it with vocals and acoustic guitar.

I'd love to know the mics you’d like to see a shoot out of against this one.
I'd like to see the big brother, at2035. Should have the good stuff from the 2020, but it has a much larger capsule and bigger, supposedly more robust body, which should help with that resonant frequency.
Spec sheet says it should have more than 10db more signal to noise ratio, almost half the noise and with the pad it can record 158db, which is according to science louder than a 12ga shotgun with a 26" barrel. Crazy.
I came for review but heard a masterpiece
i came looking for a review but I stayed for the singing, good stuff
Ok.... but why you're not famous???? OMG WHAT A VOICE!!! WHAT A TALENT!!!
Thank you. I'm trying!! 🤣🤣
@@TimMoxeyMusic you definetly deserve to be fucking famous.
Sooooo much talent!!!
I'm a fan already, no kidding. 👏👏👏
1:04 glad I hadn’t fallen asleep yet 😳 Great voice!
You are very talented, thank you!
Insane vocalist. I saw all the comments about your voice and I had to add. Bravo indeed. Too bad "Tim Moxey" only yielded some praise and worship singer on Spotify.
Dang brother. Came for the review but your voice just blew me away. Great job.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
You have a fantastic voice.
Tim, many thanks and big hello from Russia! Your observing videos are very helpful, as I am making up my mind to get a confidence mic for my home recordings. I would like to say what a great voice and a style of guitar playing you posses (remindes me of Chris Stapelton a lot), you truly should and I hope you are living it and by it! Whish you lots of thankfull audience and success in all you do!!,
Great voice, Brother!!! Decent sounding mic for the $$$! Thanks for the review!
Thank you. I have to say i was pretty impressed with the bang for buck of this mic too.
Came for the mic..enjoyed your vocals, like other commenters.👏🏽
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
love your voice
Thank you.
ohhhh my goshhh brutha.... excellante
I'm glad you liked it
Thanks mate.
Great work, for the price its surprisingly good.
Totally agree. I'm interested to shoot it out against some other mics.
dam your voice is good 🙌
thanks so much
Great vid. I'd like to understand whether you could use it for acoustic and vox at the same time?
Is there any other mics in this price range you would suggest over this for streaming/singing
Tim! I'm really loving your reviews and how you're using them to make real music (vs just futzing around with gear). How would you compare the AT2020 to the Shure PGA181 for acoustic guitar and vocals?
I think the AT2020 is a much better all rounder because of it's detail in the higher end. However the PGA 181 does sound good on instruments and would flatter an instrument that is possibly a little over bright. I'll put this comparison on the list for future videos. :) I hope that helps.
holy shit you're great
Hi friend, so I have a question about the interface... Which one do you recommend to use with the mic AT2020 ?
It all depends on what you are wanting to achieve. If you just need to get the mic into the computer something like the Behringer UM2 would probably work really well. If you are looking to hopefully build your system and get more into recording and add more channels etc... I would recommend something like the Focusrite Scarlette 4i4. You could go with the smaller Focusrite units but the 4i4 will give you the flexibility to play with outboard gear and midi down the track. I hope that helps.
Thanks for information...ok I'm gonna buy this
I am glad I was able to help.
Can i use this mic on an iPhone 12?
All these comments but the song he linked barely has any likes. Go listen y'all!
Bro para vocales cuál sientes mejor el At2020 o pga181??
Definitely the at2020. The pga 181 just didn't have the colour i want on the voice.
how far are u standing back
We found queen
Thanks so much for the review and your vocals are great. If I can give you one tip as a vocal coach, I wanna hear you sing less "pretty/trained". I think it will make you sound even more versatile and emotional. The mic sounds great, is it weird to use this mic for the higher and sharper parts of the song? because i just dont like the way my rode nt1000 sounds with the same volume and more higher notes of what you just did, I am missing some warmth there
IS YOUR ROOM ACOUSTICALLY TREATED???
Yes, look at the background
