A Stream Deck plug-in designed to provide streamlined control of compatible Audio-Technica USB microphones directly from Elgato Stream Deck devices has come to market.
Developed for streamers, content creators, podcasters, gamers and audio production professionals, Audio-Technica’s new 20 Series Control Application is designed to bring fast access to essential microphone functions through customizable Stream Deck keys, dials and foot pedals.
Compatible with the Audio-Technica AT2020USB-X, Audio-Technica AT2020USB-XP and Audio-Technica AT2040USB microphones, the 20 Series Control Application allows users to mute and unmute microphones, adjust microphone input levels, and, for AT2020USB-XP users, control Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Noise Reduction (NR) functions directly from the Stream Deck interface.
The plug-in integrates with the Elgato Stream Deck ecosystem through drag-and-drop configuration, enabling users to assign controls to specific keys, dials or foot pedals and customize layouts to match individual workflows for streaming, recording, gaming, podcasting or content production.
Among the plug-in’s key functions is instant mute/unmute control; it can be assigned to compatible Stream Deck foot pedals for convenient hands-free operation.
A Virtual Fader function is also present, enabling microphone input adjustment directly from the Stream Deck interface.
For users of the AT2020USB-XP microphone, the application also provides direct access to the microphone’s onboard AGC and Noise Reduction functions.
AGC helps maintain a consistent output level regardless of changes in speaking or singing volume, while the Noise Reduction control allows users to select from multiple levels of ambient noise suppression or disable the feature entirely depending on their recording environment.
