The Audio-Technica AT2020 has received near-universal praise. Indeed, for some applications it turns in better results than microphones costing several times its UK price, so it probably doesn’t take a crystal ball to predict that Audio-Technica will sell a lot of these over the coming months. 

Audio-technica AT-2020

The Audio-Technica AT2020 Microphone has received near-universal praise.

Sound quality from the AT2020 is excellent. It does a fantastic job capturing voices and honestly would work quite well in a professional setup.

Seth Macy, IGN.com

I don’t know how Audio-Technica did it, but this mic is well-built, comes with useful accessories, and offers solid performance at an amazing price.

Garrett Haines, Recordinghacks.com

Despite its low cost, this mic actually delivers a very mature, believable sound both on vocals and on instruments.

Paul White, SoundonSound.com

This bundle is specifically designed for podcasters who want a pro sound.

While actually getting your voice heard is critical, there is a huge credibility that comes with truly excellent audio. For example, there are many microphones available to the modern podcaster. Some are best for isolating sound when there is a lot of ambient noise while others are best for recording music. Make the most of your podcast with mics designed specifically for capturing the human voice. Be sure to look for specs that offer the best frequency response, dynamic range and off-axis rejection.

Pick-up patterns are especially important for podcasting because it’s usually created in one room with multiple mics and multiple voices. The Audio-Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone has pick-up patterns that capture the right voices in each mic even as conversation occurs. The bundle also includes the coordinating Audix tripod desk stands as well so that you’ll have the best angle on your mics.

You’ll also want to get your hands on some high-quality, comfortable headphones. Audio-Technica ATH-M20x paired with a PreSonus HP4 4-Ch Headphone Distribution Amplifier will help keep your recording troubles low. You’ll want accurate sound reproduction and good isolation. This gives your hosts and guests a great recording experience and keeps them focused on making good content without distractions.

The centerpiece of your podcast gear is a solid mixer and recorder. 

Your mixer should have inputs for you, your guest and other sound sources. Having multiple input types is ideal since you never know when you might want to do something different for an episode. The PreSonus AR8 USB 8-Channel Hybrid Performance and Recording Mixer gives you flexible output and built-in recording functionality. Other features to consider are pre-amps, audio effects and signal processing controls.

Overall, this is a fantastic compact mixer with a lot on offer. You can hook up all your equipment, play music off your phone, select preset controls for your channels, and save everything to an SD card without having to go through a computer.

James Mulvany, Radio.co

With the mics, stands, cables, headphones, headphone amp, mixer and recorder, there’s little more gear you need to produce a professional podcast.

Do your business a favor and get in on this deal. The price of everything if you were to buy it separately would be $910.30. Group buys give you the cost-effectiveness of bulk prices even if you only need a few pieces for your own set-up. Remember, the more people that sign up for the Group Buy before it ends, the more the bundle is discounted. The last day to sign up was September 25, 2019.

  1. What is a group buy? Is it like a groupon? If I want the best deal of saving 34% on the podcasting package how do I get that deal?

  2. My question is similar to Leslie’s. I want the 34% off, but if it doesn’t get to that tier, I’m not really interested. Should I just not sign up? Or should I sign up then back out if it doesn’t reach the maximum discount?

  3. Hi Leslie,

    Thanks for the question! This Group Buy works similarly to a Groupon in the sense that you are being offered a great deal on products that would otherwise sell at a higher price.

    If anywhere from 1-9 units are reserved, everyone who signed up for this Group Buy will get the entire podcasting bundle for $799.95 instead of the retail price of $910.30, and so on.

    To get this podcasting bundle at the maximum discounted price of $599.99 (34% off), a minimum of 51 people will need to sign-up, or a minimum of 51 units need to be reserved—whichever comes first.

    To reach those 51 signups, we encourage everyone interested in this deal to share this Group Buy to their Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social channels.

    Hope that helps, and I’m happy to answer any other questions you may have!

  4. Hi Virgilio,

    Thank you for letting us know to update your request. We’ve gone in and changed the order to one unit under your name.

    Feel free to reply to this message if you have any additional questions—we’re happy to help!

    Thanks!
    Jess

  6. Hi Dwight,
