blucoilAudio Technica AT2020 Cardioid Condenser Microphone for Project & Home Studio Applications Bundle Boom Arm Plus Pop Filter, and 2-Pack of 10-FT Balanced XLR Cables

Blucoil's bundle is superb. To start with, the Audio Technica microphone is a great piece of gear on its own. The fidelity is excellent and is a step up. There is a clarity and presence to the microphone that I found really made my voice recordings seem very true to life. It possesses a warmth many of my other microphones in the same price point do not. Not only that, but I've seen the mic alone go for the entire cost of this bundle elsewhere, so this is a huge plus to get all these other very useful pieces at the same price point.I love the included desk-mountable arm stand. It's a great idea and very convenient. I can sit at the desk and record very easily. It's literally having a radio or recording studio right there and ready to roll at arm's reach. When you're not using it, you can easily retract it out of the way.The only critique I'd have is with the pop filter arm, which is a little loose and does not easily stay in place. With a little twisting, it works, but does have to be adjusted often. The good thing is it certainly does its job. Also? Nice that it includes a good quality mic cable with the package.When put together, the package looks great and professional. That's a big plus, as it's inspiring to have something that both looks and sounds great for a very affordable cost.

Love the mic. Love the package. Let me be clear if you are familiar with the Audio Technica 2020, then this is a perfect must get package. The only issue for gaming has to do more with the speaker. In gaming people can be very mobile and often find themselves reacting to the games they stream. The AT2020 is NOT the mic for that. It is very sensitive to distance and direction, and while podcasters often are stationary in their chair/desk discussion topics, a gamer might start to sound faint if not directly in front. Just a piece of advice NOT a warning. The AT2020 mic is fantastic, as long as the correct tools are used for the correct job.

Sturdy, sleek, does the job.

this is my first proper microphone, and i'm super happy with it so far. this price for the mic, arm, and pop filter is fantastic and gives you all you need to take your audio setup to the next level. i think i may buy a preamp for it in the future, as the signal is a little low, but it is still usable without one. now i am exposing some other weak links in my setup, but that's the nature of these things i supposeupdate: i ended up buying the preamp, but i hit some roadblocks. the issue is that for condenser microphones, they need an external source of 48v phantom power. my mixer provided this so it worked on its own just fine. what i did not realize is that most (all?) preamps also require phantom power, so when you plug in the preamp it steals all the power from the mixer and doesn't pass it on to the mic. the solution was to buy a seperate phantom power source for the mic. now my setup is mic-external phantom power source-preamp-mixer. hopefully i can help someone else who has the same issue

The microphone is high quality, and to include to XLR cables and a scissor stand are just icing on the cake for this deal. For the mic, I recommend getting a windshield or popfilter because these condenser mics really do pick up everything around them. I've read people having trouble with the scissor stand, but if you treat it well and cautiously use two hands when readjusting mic, I can foresee it lasting a while.

I’m using for vocals on Logic Pro X and it’s amazing for the price, voice is clear the stand is amazing very sturdy over all a very good set up.

Great quality sound

This product is actually perfect for beginners. I have the Blue Snowball Ice which is very cheap feel in comparison to the AT2020. The AT2020 feels heavy and very durable. The stand can hold the mic totally fine and is actually somewhat sturdy. It is not hard to move and I don't feel like there is really any need for a shock mount or any other extra piece. Everything came just fine. The only thing that is needed now for these buyers is to throw an audio interface into your cart.The AT2020 is made generally for music purposes so it will catch sound in the background, but you can adjust ur mic settings if using discord to speak to people. and such.
