If you’re taking it on the road or recording a variety of characters voices or instruments, the importance of this advantage is boosted. The build is closer to studio mics rather than USB mics, which tend to have cheap plastic parts. While the AT2020 only does a cardioid pattern, this is all most people need anyhow. Strengths of the AT2020 are build quality and simplicity (geared towards controlling everything from the computer). No matter the situation, from interviews to instrument recording, to capturing the ambiance of the room, the Yeti is flexible enough to fit the task. Many top-end studio mics can’t do all that. It handles four polar patterns: cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional, and stereo.
Most notable strengths of the Yeti are features and value. Hardware controls are absent so gain levels must be adjusted via software. The AT2020 in contrast looks nearly identical to Audio-Technica XLR mics. The Yeti has physical knobs and buttons both on the front and back, making it ideal for tweakers not big on software controls. The AT2020 is a fine USB mic and one of the bigger threats to the dominance of the Yeti.īoth are great mics but in different ways, which comes down to differing design principles. The Snowball has done well too while other USB mic manufacturers have struggled to keep up with Blue’s success.Īudio-Technica, a heavy hitter in the realm of pro studio gear, hasn’t rested on its laurels. To date Blue’s Yeti hasn’t had much competition in terms of popularity.
