OK for a USB microphone but it's a USB microphone.
Are you sure that you want to go this route?

most USB mics are with 16mm back electret capsule, the 16mm capsule inside At2020USB is the same as the one in AT2020, the capsule inside AT2020/AT2020USB is better than other 16mm back electret capsules ..

Do yourself a BIG favor and stay away from usb mics and adapters.
They are basically made for PODCASTING (radio chat shows), not music recording.

The analog-to-digital converters in their mini-soundcard are mediocre for music.
The poor monitoring in them will give you fits trying to overdub new tracks.
The short cords will introduce a LOT of computer fan noise.

Get yourself a real audio interface and reegular mics. Here's a good guide:
