The Audio-Technica AT2010 is a professional handheld vocal microphone designed to bring studio, condenser microphone quality to the stage. The AT2010 features the same fixed-charge permanently-polarized condenser element as the side-address AT2020 studio condenser microphone, for a pristine warm signal response during live performances, speech and more. The cardioid polar pattern greatly minimizes off-axis noise and audio that can cause feedback. All this in a robust enclosure that is sure to handle the rigors of life on the road.
