The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The built-in headphone jack with mix control lets you blend your microphone input with background music or other audio sources, which is useful for streaming or recording tutorials.
- It uses a cardioid pickup pattern, meaning it picks up sound mainly from in front of the mic and rejects noise from the sides and back, so it handles less-than-perfect recording spaces better than an omnidirectional mic would.
- You're limited to 16-bit, 44.1/48 kHz audio quality, which is fine for podcasts and streaming but lower than what you'd get with a dedicated audio interface if you're doing professional music recording.
As of Aug 15, the Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ Cardioid Condenser USB is a good price at $199 — versus a $209.76 typical price and a $62.93 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
