Key Features
The SubZero DB20U is a USB dynamic microphone built for vocal-focused content like podcasting, broadcasting, voiceovers and streaming and is ideal for creators who want clear results with minimal setup. This dynamic microphone uses a super-directional cardioid pickup pattern to zone in on your voice while reducing background noise. With a smooth frequency response and high SPL handling, it's well-suited to speech at any volume.
With both USB and XLR outputs, it easily slots into any setup, whether you do or don't have an audio interface. The mic also includes real-time headphone monitoring with a volume knob to control what you hear and a windscreen to reduce plosives.

The DB20U is purpose-built for podcasts, streams, radio-style voiceovers and any situation where your voice needs to come through clearly. Its super-directional cardioid pattern focuses on what’s directly in front of the mic, perfect for blocking out room noise and keyboard taps. Whether you’re presenting live or recording takes, it’s designed to keep your vocals front and centre.
The built-in USB-C port makes it easy to get started. Just plug the mic into your computer, laptop or even a compatible phone and you're ready to go. There's no need for phantom power or a separate interface, perfect for beginners or anyone working with a portable setup. You’ll also find a standard XLR output on the back, so it’s easy to upgrade later if you add an interface down the line.
With a frequency response from 40Hz to 20kHz, the DB20U picks up the full range of human voice. It captures warmth without sounding muddy, and clarity without being harsh, ideal for creators who want a polished sound straight from the mic. It also features a 78dB signal-to-noise ratio, helping reduce unwanted hiss in quieter recordings.
Weighing 860g and built with a sturdy metal housing, the DB20U is designed to stay firmly in place once mounted. The included windscreen helps reduce plosive sounds (like ‘P’ and ‘B’) and softens breaths for a smoother, more professional sound. It's a strong choice for desktop, arm or studio mounting, whether you're starting out or upgrading your current mic.
The latest in music technology, for modern musicians and producers. SubZero combines innovation and quality, with the determination to help you get the sound you want. From studio and guitars, to powerful PA systems and home audio setups - SubZero is all about cutting-edge audio.
