10 feet USB cable is included in the package, for which if needed you can easily find a replacement.

In my opinion, it is better than mini-USB, which tends to detach and bend. It uses an old-school square USB connector often found on printers. It has nothing to break, the capsule is also protected by a rigid grid. The body of AT2020USB is apparently made of rugged metal intended for durable performance, and indeed, it seems it can survive a good amount of abuse. I will repeat that for vocal and instrument range it does a superior job. Yet again, this is hardly concerning for normal application. Thus XLR version of AT2020 with the same capsule may produce a crispier response. On a side note, the USB interface itself has a limited capacity, which tends to cause hindrance for the upper high portion of the spectrum. Those imperfections tend to get even more audible due to the digital sampling. Other mics, such as Yeti USB tend to use cheaper capsules and end up sounding harsher especially in the higher range. This is actually the best curve you’ll ever see on a USB mic. The mic has a steady frequency response that makes it more musical.

Sound, quality, buildĪT2020USB produces crisp and clean sound… comparing to a number of models in the same price range, it comes out the winner. Whatever is that you are recording, you will never get disappointed with its sound quality! As for the price, it’s also very reasonable.
