The Audio-Technica AT2020 is a cardioid condenser microphone that became a studio and podcast staple thanks to its low price and clean sound. This is the XLR version (distinct from the separate AT2020USB models), so its only connection is a single 3-pin XLR output that must run to an audio interface or mixer supplying 48V phantom power. There is no headphone jack and no USB — the one cable that matters is a standard balanced XLR lead.
Cardioid condenser studio mic with a single 3-pin XLR output; requires 48V phantom power from an interface.
