Both have excellent sound response and quality.
By David J. Huber
We're using in a church worship service, one for picking up spoken voice and one for picking up an acoustic guitar and variously also our children's choir.Both microphones work excellently, have nice clear noise-free sound, pick up even children's voices quite nicely without having to overdrive the sound system, and appear to be fairly solidly built.My only disappointment with them is the AT2020 side-address condenser - I thought that it work as a mic from either side, but it is unidirectional. There was nothing in the advertising telling me that it should work from both sides, it was just an assumption I made, which assumption comes from the fact that I know very little about microphones. Perhaps it's a known fact that "side-address" means one side only, I don't know.I don't offer that as a complaint, only as a helpful guide in case someone else who doesn't know much about microphones is wondering how it works.As I said, sound-quality-wise, these are both wonderful, and we're getting another set for the church.

Great microphones for the price!
By T. Cole
The AT2020 and AT2021 condenser microphones included in this package are simply great quality. The microphones are very durable and aren't cheap like many microphones at this price level. They sound really clear and fresh, which is a relief upgrade from my old Logitech [ew] microphones.The 2020 produces rich sounding vocals through my Roland AC60 Amplifier. I even took the mic to the bathroom to capture the natural re verb of other rooms and the results were excellent. I opted to spend the extra $40-50 on the small diaphragm condenser 2021. This was a good choice because it sounds absolutely awesome while miked up to my acoustic guitar.True, there are much, much more high quality condenser microphones available on the market. But, ladies and gentlemen, for this price it isn't going to get much better! Best bang for the buck. 5/5!

great mic package for the budget studio
By Charles Ernst
I've been using these two mics in my home studio for a few years now and have had great results. Unless you're willing to spend upwards of $1,000.00 (i.e. AKG C414 XLS) I think you will be hard pressed to find a better bargain in a mic package. I utilize my AT2020 for recording vocals and acoustic guitar tracks, and find the AT2021 is great for amp cabinet recording. I run both of these through an Art Tube MP Tube Mic Preamp with 48V Phantom Power (another fantastic bargain--you can find them in the $30.00 to $40.00 range) and then into my recording console. After 3 years of studio use these mics seem no worse for the wear--if anything they may sound a little warmer. Happy recording!
