If you're in the market for a new microphone you are probably overwhelmed with all of the choices that are available. The Audio-Technica AT2020 USB microphone is my personal microphone of choice. I highly recommend this product to both newcomers to the field and seasoned professionals of the industry. This cardioid condenser mic is great for anyone looking to affordably set up a home studio or replace an out-of-date mic that has seen better days. It has a very isolated pickup and rarely catches any unwanted noises from behind or beside.
While it isn't the cheapest choice on the market, it is reasonably priced and delivers a beautiful, rich sound that I find superior to some of the more pricy options. This model is found for sale on many different retailers' websites, so I highly suggest you do a little comparative price shopping before you make a purchase if you're looking to save money. The Audio-Technica AT2020 USB microphone is a side-address mic ideal for voiceovers, music, or any other acoustic audio you may need to record. An added bonus is just how easy it is to get set up on your computer - and that goes for PC or Mac! Another big plus - there is no need for a pre-amp or any other costly processing devices. This mic can be plugged right in to your USB port and you're ready to go! The digital output is wonderful and every client I've had since purchasing this mic over a year ago has been greatly satisfied with the sound quality it provided. I've used this mic for a wide range of projects and have yet to have a single problem. It has a threaded pivoting stand mount and comes with a tripod desk stand that has proven to be sturdier than first impression. It is easily portable, moderately priced, and delivers a high-quality, rich, professional sounding recording every time.
I've been doing voiceovers for over 10 years now and with all that changes that have come to the industry, one thing remains true in every case - quality is key. You're voice can only sound as professional as the quality of equipment you're using to record it. This microphone provides that quality for me.
