However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Cardioid polar patterns are perfect for a huge range of applications - with more sensitivity at the front of the microphone and significantly less at the sides and rear, a cardioid pattern reduces the capture of ambient noise and unwanted sound sources. This powerful pattern is ideal for live performances and studio recording, be it spoken-word, vocals, instrumentation and more. The narrow angle of sensitivity minimizes bleed from other sources, capturing only what you want to be heard.
The AT2020 is loved and adored all over the world by recording studios, live and pro-sound engineers, streamers, artists, broadcasters and more. With such a phenomenal reputation across a diverse range of industries, it's no surprise that the AT2020 has found a permanent home in the hands of countless professionals and hobbyists alike. The cardioid polar pattern provides excellent isolation for a clear and intelligible sound, whilst the custom-engineered 16mm low-mass diaphragm delivers an incredibly wide and linear frequency response. The AT2020 is ideal for capturing crisp and clear audio, with high SPL handling capabilities for extremely loud sound sources.
When you've invested a great deal of time and effort into creating the ultimate recording system, the last thing you want is noise making its way into your signal path. That's what makes the AT2020 a perfect choice no matter what you intend to capture - the ultra-low operating noise of the mic ensures you get the best quality sonic performance out of your rig. Whether your setup is sophisticated or straightforward, the AT2020 blends seamlessly into your workflow without unwanted interference.
The Audio Technica AT2020 comes complete with a unique pivoting threaded stand mount. This innovative design enables you to achieve the perfect position in the acoustic sweet spot of your environment. The mount attaches securely to your stand with its 5⁄8''-27 threading, whilst the included adapter also allows you to utilise stands with a 3⁄8''-16 thread. When you're done recording, you can simply pop the microphone and mount into the included soft protective pouch for hassle-free transportation and storage.
"The AT2020 is built to the same standard as Audio-Technica's more up-market microphones, and I certainly have no complaints about its subjective sound quality. Indeed, for some applications it turns in better results than microphones costing several times its UK price" - Sound on Sound AT2020 Review.
"The AT2020 delivers super audio ... This is for people serious about audio quality" - IGN AT2020 Review.
"As a low cost, versatile jack of all trades, the Audio Technica AT2020 excels. It's built to last and produces balanced and clean recordings" - The Garageband Guide AT2020 Review.
"A versatile mic with a frequency response that does well with EQ, but also sounds crisp and even without it. Durable and heavy. Really does a phenomenal job of blocking out background noise, even without room treatment" - Home Studio Basics AT2020 Review.
