I have pretty noisy air condition in my room. Will this mic pick only my voice, so nobody will hear this terrible noise?

Because this mic is unidirectional it only picks up sound from the top of the dome. Nothing should be picked up from the sides. For the price it is a great deal.

Put the mic on a stand (when possible). That will eliminate the mechanical noise completely. Otherwise, the shock mount will reduce the noise quite a bit.

Yes! I know！the sound if very loud，even I turn gain to 0 still very loud ，my mic became background！

I completely recommend against that. This is a good microphone, with great quality. However, It has a low sensitivity. I tried doing this myself as my in-game microphone(gamer) but unless the microphone is almost touching your lips, it wont pick up your voice.

tbh im not quite sure but whenever my mic is on people don't tend to have problems hearing me, and i keep the mic maybe within an arm's reach from me. i hope this helps :)

The microphone in this device is very sensitive. In fact it's too sensitive that you hear all background noise very clearly so it's almost impossible to use outside. Inside I still find a slight hiss and still hear background sounds even in the quietest of rooms. So.. For multiple person interviews the best bet is to use multiple lapel pins connected to one of its interface. In a pinch u can try to use it indoors but be prepared to do some cleanup of noise after u record

I could hear it from the other room well enough, but it could be drowned up by music/TV or the washing machine etc.Mind you, this product does generally suck so I wouldn't recommend it.

The first thing to check is the setting you are using the mic on. Make sure you have tried all settings. Second thing is to remember that fan noise can be transmitted through the surface the mic is sitting on. If your computer and your mic are on the same desk, this could be an issue. The remedy is to put some type of foam or rubber pad between your computer and the desk.

I've only used it to make one recording to test the sound and it seemed to work well enough for that, although I am not sure how much background noise it would pick up if you are in a noise environment, since I don't think it has any kind of noise cancellation-type anything.

I have a pretty loud air-purifier and computer as well, and the AT2020 does a good job of not picking up those ambient noises quite well! Most of my recordings are whisper quiet in the background. Hope this helps!

All your going to hear is other people's voices,nothing else,and also this may not happen to u bit it happened to me,when I bought the mic it said it was in stock 2 weeks later the people who sell the mics tell me that they did not have it in stock and told me to wait an extra 12 to 18 days for the mic to get to my house.Long story short I do not recomend u buy this mic from this seller,trust I will be worth to pay i little extra.

no but during you're recording sessions it will cancel out background noise to the point where only your voice is heard

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

It is REALLY noisy, seriously I will be returning mine because of that. I had bought for my bedroom but this is unbearable, even the lowest speed generates so much more noise than my old AC on the max speed.

Not really, I have it at my desk and it gives off a light pishhh noise but I doubt others would hear it.

I haven't used this in noisy environments like offices etc. But according to my gaming buddies, this microphone does not pick up noise from my keyboard as opposed to the table microphone i used earlier.

Though the computer can see the headset as the mic, when I checked how loud the computer was receiving the voice input, it was only seeing it as a whisper, even though I was speaking very loudly. In short, you can set it up, but it will be useless. Sources: Quick test using a Win7 comp and Windows Recording Devices
