That aside, I'm really having a hard time wrapping my head around your problem. The AT2020 is definitely not a stereo mic. I'm very glad for any help given upfront. What am I doing wrong or is something here defective? The Phantom Power 48v is on, system volume 100%, I connected the Interface with a 3.0 Hub, without it directly into different USB ports, reinstalled the Driver, disabled every audio device besides the Audio 6, recorded Audio with Audacity and Reaper, both on the same level of Audio, which on top of it is in Mono so I have to fake mirror it over so it's Stereo even though it's a Stereo Microphone. On the other hand, when my wife drops the key DOWNSTAIRS which is around 20 meters away, the microphone registers this tiny sound just as much as if I would hold the microphone on the floor besides it. The gain on the TLR Input 1 (Also tried 2) is on 100% and I have to shout that it registers everything in a NORMAL level. I can't for the life of me get the sound level correct. Now though with the Audio Technica AT2020 XLR Version I have a very odd issue.
Headphones (Currently hooked up on it are Pioneer HDJ 1500s, will be replaced by Sennheiser HD650, just mentioning it in case it sucks out power or whatever the case might be) and the sound on it is great, all LEDs are indicating and no Software Errors, the DAW (FL Studio) is also accepting it when I pair it with my Midi Controller (Novation Launchkey 49 MK2). What begins as a simple vibration a subtle movement, results in an emotional connection – whether that be when listening deeply to an album or sharing your voice with the world.I recently invested into Home Studio Equipment including DAW for Production in music, so my choice for an Audio Interface was the NI Komplete Audio 6.
Speaking about the occasion, President Kazuo Matsushita said: “It is an honour to provide a quality audio experience to millions of people throughout the world.
The brand will celebrate its 60th anniversary with a series of events across the world on the theme of analogue living. Today Audio-Technica is an integral part of the audio industry, with products used at global events, on screen, in studios and in homes retaining the “audio for all” philosophy and ensuring future generations can experience the joy of analogue. Kazuo Matsushita, son of Hideo, became president in 1993 and the business continued to expand, opening offices throughout the world, and developing iconic products such as the modern VM series of cartridges, the ATH-M50x headphones and the AT2020 microphone. At the core of every product is the art of analogue, as a delicate vibration is transformed into sound – both in the listening and recording processes.
On 17th April 2022 it will be 60 years since Hideo created his first cartridge and Audio-Technica will mark this occasion by reaffirming its commitment to analogue.įocusing on a human-centred approach to the process of generating sound, the company sees analogue as an enjoyment and appreciation for audio that doesn’t alter, despite the rapid changes throughout history.Īlongside cartridges, Audio-Technica began producing headphones in 1974, and microphones in 1978, – beginning every process with a transducer and aiming to deliver a pure, natural sound.
He opened a larger headquarters in Machida, where the company still operates today. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3, achieved success and enabled Hideo to expand his business. In a small Shinjuku apartment, he established Audio-Technica and began developing cartridges. Inspired by the depth of emotion he witnessed at vinyl listening sessions organised during his tenure at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts in Tokyo, Hideo Matsushita was determined to enable more people to experience the warmth of analogue listening. On April 17th 2022 Japanese transducer manufacturer Audio-Technica will celebrate 60 years since founder, Hideo Matsushita, established the business, starting with his AT-1 cartridge.
