AT2020 : Entry Level Mic

5 years ago

If you're after an entry level mic then this is the one, it's got a bumpy frequency response but if you're looking at getting a mic that doesn't you're looking in the wrong price range

It sounds pleasant, the mic has bumps in the right places, it might not be quite as smooth as some mics as stated before. You might get some shrill at 2kHz depending on the voice but some EQ can change that

It's an award winning mic, it stands out in the mix; if you're already considering it, buy it or save and get a more expensive mic. There's other more expensive mics that aren't as good as this

In my opinion, the source and the room is more important to than the microphone and if this is your first mic be aware that condensers will pick up a lot of the room sound

I've been using these for OH mics and Vocals mainly but there's nothing stopping you throwing it at a guitar cab

In summary, if you're after your first mic there's not much competition without spending twice as much
