Audio-Technica AT2010

The AT2010 puts a studio-grade condenser capsule, the same low-mass 16 mm diaphragm design used in the AT2020, into a handheld stage mic built to reject handling noise and resist feedback better than a typical vocal condenser. It suits vocalists, worship teams, and broadcast hosts who want a more natural, extended top end than a standard dynamic stage mic without giving up the durability a handheld needs on tour.

A 40–20,000 Hz frequency response and 136 dB max SPL give it the headroom to sit close on a loud stage without distorting, while the cardioid pickup pattern rejects monitor and PA bleed from the sides and rear. Standard 48V phantom power, a low 100 Ω output impedance, and an integral 3-pin XLRM connector make it a straightforward add to any existing XLR-based mixing system, with no special preamp or interface required.

It ships with the AT8470 Quiet-Flex stand clamp, a 5/8″–27 to 3/8″–16 thread adapter for standard mic stands, and a soft protective pouch, so it is ready to get on a stand and into a system the same day it arrives.
