But, recording instruments with high volume may be a problem. It’s great for recording singing and speaking in general like in voice-over and podcast.

Overall, we’re happy with the microphone. So if you want to control the Gain levels, you have to do it from your PC. There is no Gain dial on this mic, which is kind of weird at this price range. There is a downside that we found with this mic, or probably you’ve noticed it.
#AT2020 USB MIC STAND MAC#
The mic is compatible on Windows, Apple iPad, and Mac OS. On the other hand, don’t expect a great pop filter for free. The included pop filter is a great addition, besides it’s not common to get one included with the purchase. The weight feels nice and sturdy, it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy at all when placed on the desk.
