Thanks for the review. I have the XLR version of the mic. Best large diaphragm mic under $100 period! I have problems getting a high / correct input level from the mic. I feed it into my Mac via a Presonus Firebox, when I turn the gain up to say 3 o’clock it seems easy to overdrive and on 12 o’clock the level seem too low. Some type of pre-amp perhaps?

I tried the samson C03U and then Purchased the AT2020 within the same week and I can tell you the At2020 is better quality hands down!!!

JacanaProd the mic needs to be powered by “phantom power” 48v for optimum performance. Don’t know if that helps but thats the req.

appreciate your review. Definitely getting the AT2020. Read other reviews that good for recording acoustic guitar (have video of daughter competing, now need to start doing recording). Thanks to you I’ll be heading to Radio Shack and craftshop to make the stand/pop filter (very impressive) *and* the shock mount looks great too. Thanks for sharing. I’m subscribing and will follow you on twitter!

Do you think I can use this AT2020USB to put the mic on a small conference table and record the conversation of me interviewing 1 or 2 people seated about 4 feet away (Charlie Rose Show style)? Is it sensitive enough to pick up a good level of sound without getting a lot of hiss or hum? Thanks much, Hal.

how do you use live monitoring with this microphone. The sound is delayed when I use software live monitoring (tryed it with audiacity,adobe audition and magix music maker 15)…
