Most likely you will need to adjust the gain (sometimes described as the volume or sensitivity) on the mic.

However, it is always a good idea to still take a moment to check the control settings in your recording software to make sure it is using the AT2020USB+ as the sound source. Once the mic is connected, your software may automatically identify the mic and make it the default sound source for recording.
The AT2020USB+ will connect to your laptop or compatible mobile device with the standard USB cable provided (cable type is USB A -> USB B). See the post Mics for Voice Recording in Sub-Optimal Environments for information about pop filter options for the AT2020USB+.
These blasts of air (called plosives) can cause short thumping sounds or distorted sections in the recording because it caused the signal level to spike too much. It is usually a good idea to use a pop filter to protect the mic from strong blasts of air caused by some parts of speech.

The example below shows how to use the AT2020USB+ as a side address mic. So while it will capture some sound from the end (top), it is incorrect to use it this way and will likely result in low volume for the narrator’s voice and too much reflected sound from the table or the ceiling. It is not an end address mic like many common vocal singing mics and some broadcast studio mics. It is significantly less sensitive on the opposite side (labelled BACK on mic). This means that it is designed to be highly sensitive to sound on one side of the mic body (the side that says AUDIO-TECHNICA). The AT2020USB+ is a side address, cardioid condenser mic. The swivel adapter will connect to any standard 15.8mm (5/8 inch) or 9.5mm (3/8 inch) euro stand.
When purchased new, the mic comes with a zippered storage pouch, a USB cable, a swivel mic stand adapter and a short metal tripod stand. In this post we will describe how to set it up for voice narration recording. The AT2020USB+ mic from Audio Technica is an excellent choice for an affordable, high-quality USB mic.
