    I have spent so many hours listening to my MXL990 that I always recognize it immediately. And as always I recommend that the AT2020 only be used as a paper weight.

    Just stumbled on this, good test. Mic A has more high end and detail; you can hear mouth noises, like a "wetness" when you say "microphone". Mic B is a lot smoother.

    990 has more bass response
    AT2020 has high frequency response
    which gives you the illusion of wider sound scape

      P120? That's is a great ENTRY level unit. Personally. I think the P120 would be better. Unfortunately, right now, I don't have one available to do a test video for you.

      For which microphone?

      The audio quality of a microphone is not so cut and dry. Each microphone can have different performance for different voice types. So, what I like to do is try and provide a baseline for each microphone so you can make your own educated decision.
