QuestionDo you think it’s good for making YouTube videos?
Asked 7 years ago by 152269.
- Answer Yes it is. Be aware that you will need an interface that provides 48 volts phantom power installed between the microphone and the computer if you are considering the AT2020, which is the XLR output version of the mic, however. We also make a USB version of the mic, the AT2020USB+ which operates off USB buss power and does not require the use of an interface or phantom power.

QuestionIs it iphone compatible?
Asked 4 years ago by cal.
- Answer It is not, not without the use of some type of audio interface that has a lightning output anyway. Make certain that the interface also has 48 volts phantom power to power the microphone. Phantom power is provided over 3-pin XLR female type microphone input connectors. You will need an XLR male to XLR female type microphone cable to connect the microphone to the interface.

QuestionCan it work on switch and ps4
Asked 4 years ago by Boi.
- Answer Yes, but you will need to install a 48 volt phantom power supply (to power the microphone) between the microphone and the game console. Use a 3-pin XLR female to 3-pin XLR male microphone cable to connect the microphone to the mic input on the phantom power supply, then a 3-pin XLR female to 3.5 mm TRS cable to connect the output on the phantom power supply to the3.5 mm mic input jack on the console. Use a cable, such as the HOSA XVM-105F, to make the connection to the console. This cable is specifically designed to distribute the signal from the microphone, which is a mono signal, to both sides of the stereo 3.5 mm mic jack on the console.

QuestionI have the AT audio technica mic with the Neewer input output power source and it STILL won't pick up my voice. Is the AT2020 headset required for the mic to work? Yes, I've check my settings and everything seems in order.
Asked 4 years ago by VonPhyco.
- Answer The problem is the Neewer phantom power supply, for some reason it cannot power the AT2020 Microphone. Consider the Mackie M48 Phantom Power Supply instead.

- Answer You will need a USB interface that provides 48 volts phantom power installed between the microphone and the computer if you are considering the AT2020, which is the XLR output version of the mic. We also make a USB version of the mic, the AT2020USB+, which operates off USB buss power and does not require the use of an interface or phantom power. If you only need to use one microphone at a time with your computer, the USB version would be a simpler, possibly more cost effective way to go. If you need to use more than one microphone at the same time, a USB interface with multiple MIC inputs and 48 volts DC phantom power would be a better option.

QuestionCAN I USE THIS FOR XBOX ONE?
Asked 5 years ago by TY.
- Answer If your XBOX has a 3.5mm MIC jack on it, you could but you would have to connect the AT2020 Microphone to an interface of some kind first. You would need an interface that has at least one XLR type Microphone input on it and the interface must supply 48 volts phantom power to power the microphone.

QuestionDoes this model have (2) 20' Mic cables?
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The AT2020 Microphone does not include a cable. Use a 3-pin XLR female to XLR male microphone cable of the length you require to connect the microphone to the XLR female MICROPHONE jack on a mixer or recorder that provides 48 volts phantom power. This power is required to power the mic. If the mixer or recorder does not supply 48 volts phantom power, you may install an inline 48 volt phantom power supply, such as our AT8801 Single-channel 48V Phantom Power Supply, between the microphone and the mixer or recorder. An additional XLR-F to XLR-M microphone cable will be required.
