What is a condenser microphone? Is this USB OR XLR?

YuiFish2002 · May 19, 2016

Hey, so there's this microphone called "AUDIO-TECHNICA AT2020 pop filter with a condenser microphone" on Amazon and I'm wondering if it's xlr or usb since it doesnt say it somewhere. I prefer a usb one.

The link is long and I dunno how to shorten so sorry

The one you've found is the XLR version. If you'd like to get it to work with a USB port then you'll need to get the version with the adapter here.

More like this one in your country of origin.

Condenser is the technology inside the microphone used to pick up the sound. USB or XLR is the connector to connect the microphone to pc or to a audio interface.

So is this XLR or USB? (inkiad) Sorry but my google research is so mixed :/ Hope you guys don't mind because I've seen youtube vids like this mic and they have the USB even tho they're not USB plus.

There are two version of audio technica At 2020, USB and XLR.
The link you provided most likely is the XLR version. The USB version is this one - http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%AA%E3%83%86%E3%82%AF%E3%83%8B%E3%82%AB-audio-technica-AT2020USB-USB%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF/dp/B00Q3K32I8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1463661526&sr=8-2&keywords=at2020

If that is outside your budget, get Blue Yeti - http://www.amazon.co.jp/Yeti-YETI-BlueMicrophones-USB%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3%E3%83%87%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF-%E3%80%90%E4%B8%A6%E8%A1%8C%E8%BC%B8%E5%85%A5%E5%93%81%E3%80%91/dp/B007GG13OS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463661986&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+yeti or Blue Snowball - http://www.amazon.co.jp/Blue-Micro-Snowball-2-0%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AF-%E3%83%9B%E3%83%AF%E3%82%A4%E3%83%88%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0/dp/B000EOPQ7E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463662176&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+snowball
