I use mine to record a 5 piece rock band with a Boss BR1600CD recorder in the basement. Specifically I use them as overheads for the drums and I use the 2020 for vocals. Sometimes I use a Shure SM57 on a guitar cabinet and then put the 2121 a few feet back just to capture a little more ambience.

A brilliant side address mic - sturdy and well made, great sound for a budget mic

This is an awesome condenser mic for the first time Podcaster or VO artist. Most pros will steer you away from a USB mic, but unless you want to drop a lot of money on other equipment, USB is the way to go for a beginner.

Clarity; Quality; USB (for noobs

Not high end USB (for pros

Purchased this product as a birthday present for my daughter. The picture shows USB connection; however, when it arrived, it wasn't the USB model - disappointing.

Works like its advertised to. Don't have a lot of vibration problem in my"Studio", closet, but what little there is doesn't get through.

The AT2020 is the kind of a mic that you would want to have if you are mainly recording from home. Because its very affordable and it will get the job done and decent. It will not give you great quality from home and you cant expect to get great quality unless you are willing to spend great money...

It runs off phantom power so if you are planning on using this for your computer I would suggest getting the USB version, i have heard nothing but good things about both microphones, Just wish i would've know I would need another device to make it work on my computor.

The microphone is great, but not suited for all applications. It needs to be connected to a phantom power 48V (e.g. a mixer with this facility), otherwise it won't work at all.

Just recently bought this mic and highly recommend it to those looking for a great mic at little cost. The look and feel of the mic is truly professional and the quality it renders on voice and guitar is amazing. I ran the AT2020 through my Sound craft mixer plugged into a PC.

This is an awesome mic for the price. I use mine for professional commercial voice-overs. Teamed with a dbx286 channel strip, I get really clean recordings that fit my voice just right.
