The Rode gives a hotter signal and is better for certain things however, it routinely disappointed me when used for vocals (WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED FOR!) for its 'too hot and clean' sterile signal that would also capture everything in the room that you don't want captured unless you turn it down too much to get a true s ignal. I bought it as an alternative to my Rode NT1-A, a higher rated mic that generally costs about twice as much as the AT-2020. I have done home recording for several years, and I find this mic is worth having.

This is not a professional mic, but for the money it is a very good buy and, in my opinion, outperforms some other more expensive (and higher rated) condenser mics that I own or have used. I have owned this mic for about two years, bought used on ebay for approx.

Read full reviewДЄT-2020 usually outperforms NT1-A for about half the price. One thing I will say, though, is that this mic probably doesn't sound as 'up front' as more expensive condensers, that is, it does sound a bit 'spacey' or 'distant' if you place it at a normal distance for a condenser, however, this mic doesn't get too bassy when placed relatively close to a source (4-5'), which sort of makes up for this 'spacy sound,' I guess.ДЄll in all, this mic has an interesting sound for a condenser: people looking for a bright, snappy condenser that will give tracks a bit more 'room to breathe' will love this unique-sounding mic. On my 1x12 guitar cabinet, I found that I like the mic about 4-5' away from this distance it gives an bright, ambient sound that isn't as 'in your face' as my e906 is, which really helps to make the guitar track fill out more when I pan. There isn't much warmth, but keep in mind I'm using a pre that is desi gned to supply power and nothing else and then there's the fact that all the reviews I read said this mic was a bit bright, so if you're looking for warm, fat sounds, this mic is probably not the best choice. I'm very pleased with the sound: bright, crisp, detailed, and responds to different distances.Дespite the fact that the preamp I ordered came with a bad power supply and I consequently am currently forced to use the phantom power on my computer interface (which is not really designed to be a stunning preamp), the mic sounds very clear and full. I needed a better vocal mic, and a mic to use on my recording cabinet along with my e609 (one of the few good dynamic instrument mics). The reviews said that this mic worked well, was made in the USA, and that it was a bit bright: it sounded perfect for my purposes. Well, I've slowly started to become disenchanted with dynamic mics, and so I decided to buy my own tube mic.
