the last being the new Papa Roach album. This mic is great on guitar cabs and even drum overheads... I would not use it for vocals on a professional level, but I would suggest this mic to the band on a budget. Recently I was talking with the head engineer at the MGM grand in Vegas and he showed me that he switched out all of his Shure SM57s for the AT2020 and loves them.. from Musiciansfriend.com I recently bought this mic in a dire recording situation in which a condenser mic was quickly needed. I am not one to ever use a dynamic mic for any sort of vocal recording, not happenning. The AT2020 was the cheapest mic sold at my local retailer, so I got it, figuring it would be better then using a dynamic. And in that regaurd, the AT2020 did its job. from Musiciansfriend.com A guy in his mid-30's who has tinkered with music most of his adult life. I've played both as a solo artist and with bands. I've also been fortunate enough to spend time in actual recording studios with true professionals. None of this qualifies me as an expert...but I do have a certain level of familiarity on the subject. from Amazon.com I'm not an audio professional, but was just looking for a mic to record some radio internet broadcasts and voice overs for videos made on my Mac. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but wanted a mic that would produce pretty good sound. from Amazon.com Fantastic product. Sound quality is excellent and the weight of it feels like a true professional microphone. I am very happy I got this for recordings!!! from Amazon.com I did not know the difference between a good microphone and a cheap one. The Audio Technica AT2020 usb microphone is a outstanding piece of equipment for your audio needs. I primarily use it for dictation with my speech recognition software... from Amazon.com This microphone is amazing. I see what people mean when they talk about condenser microphones being more fragile than normal dynamic microphones, but this isn't a piece of plastic, it's built well. I paired it with the Behringer 502 5-input mixer, and it sounds great, totally professional quality. I just wanted something simple to begin home music projects, and this microphone's quality is more than enough for me. from Amazon.com Previous comments on the included stand are accurate. You'll replace it quickly. I'm looking at the Sampson shock mount, although I'm not sure if the threading is the same. from Amazon.com Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RRJX2RJN2AHGB This is my video review of the AT2020 USB microphone from Audio-Technica. USB Microphones are made to be plugged in directly to a laptop or desktop. from Amazon.com I was looking for the pre Amp for my microphone to do do voice over video and found this USB microphone from Audio technica. So I did not have to buy the preamp . from Amazon.com
