NOT YET.
The AT2020 is a side-address condenser microphone designed for home and project studios. It uses a cardioid pickup pattern to focus on sound in front of it while rejecting noise from the sides and rear, and it has a lightweight diaphragm that captures a wide frequency range with good detail on fast-moving sounds.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- It can handle loud sound sources and has a wide dynamic range, so it works for everything from vocals to drums to guitar amps without needing to swap mics.
- The cardioid pattern means you get better isolation of what you're recording, which is useful when you don't have a treated room.
- It connects via XLR, so you'll need an audio interface with XLR inputs and phantom power to use it.
As of Sep 1, the Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Studio XLR isn't at a good price yet at $118 — versus a $116.24 typical price and a $35.80 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
