I have a home studio and was looking for the best condenser mic that would have the best quality at the best price. Like everybody else I was inclined to buy the AT2020 until I watched a video of a guy comparing the best studio microphones. His recommendation was AKG P120 and I was convinced to order one on Amazon. Boy, I am happy I made the right decision. This is a kill for its price. I like how it has increased the quality of my recording and output. I love this mic and will keep it.BTW, I have not personally compared or used an AT2020 to judge this is better than or not. I am a big fan of Audio Technica and I am sure the AT2020 would be awesome too.

this is just a unicorn of an xlr mic takes and needs 48v phantom power {I saw a reviewer on this page that had a mixer but the 48v was off} otherwise you can make it sound like a dynamic with some eq and compression for a radio voice, has a low noise floor thought I would have to pad my room but cars drive by but the mics cardioid recording pattern works very well an inch away and it picks up way to much s his and is not easy to denoise even with a deeSer so a foot away is best for my voice, noise repellent a linux audio denoiser in ardour works great with it but is not needed same as a digital tube amp for that "analog warmth" this mic with filters is a joy to use its easier to remove when you have so much clean frequency to work with and recording is a breeze now if only I stopped turning off 48v compulsively, as far as I know akg tunes all there mics to sound like the legendary akg c414 so this mic is a very safe bet, its extremely professional sounding and I love it

Excellent product. I’m certainly no expert but I’ve been a musician for many many years and have owned a wide assortment of mics, both dynamic and compressor, and this is the best one I’ve ever owned and it performs wonderfully. The build quality is also superb.

For the price, this mic is well built. The sound quality suits me perfectly for recording vocals and acoustic guitar. The heavy duty screw in mic clip, is something that I wasn’t expecting. I did end end purchasing a shock mount shortly after getting the mic. Not that I will necessarily benefit from it, just hoping to eliminate a few sounds produced from banging the microphone arm or ikea desk everything is clamped to.

The price is reasonable and good for beginner, if your singing technique is improved, you can update your microphone.

I've tried a couple of these mics. Had to send them back for poor performance. I tried this one and am very happy. It's super clear and sensitive. For the price, it would be hard to beat. Well made, all metal and easy to use. Highly recommend it.

Use for recording studio, upgraded from cheaper model. It makes the most difference when your raw input signal is the best it can be. Vocal, and guitar use, even in high spl massive overdriven application performs well above its pay grade. Unlike the cheaper model, you will need a pop filter, and the tv down the hall muted ;).
Highly recommend AKG

I picked this up at the height of the pandemic Zoom/Teams meetings run. It is well constructed and has great sound for what I want. So much better than the webcam mic. I think is was well worth the cost and have been very pleased with it. It allows me to appear much more professional in my virtual meetings. The sound quality can be more important than the video image. This gives you that quality. It does require 48v phantom power, so an audio interface that provides that is necessary.

I could've purchased AT2020 if I added 1k more but this one has a warm tone which I like personally, a decent mic is important but it's mainly about the vocalist how he sings.

Buen microfono, solido robusto y bien acabado y con peso se nota que no es de juguete. Por el precio y el resultado que da es es fantastico. Muy sensible a ruidos lejanos. Pero con la regulacion que trae el propio micro puedes solventar ese problema siempre que no sea un ruido alto. No mete ningun ruido propio grabaciones muy nitidas, solo lo he usado para grabar voz asi que con instrumentos musicales no se como se comportara,Lo uso para grabar videos y podscast y el resultado es muy bueno. Muy contento con el.
