Audio Technica AT2020 vs MXL 990 | Sax Recording

[@pressxfor7219]

The Saxophones definitely sound better on the xml, but I’m buying the 2020 because I need it for vocal audio as well. Just wanted to hear how my instrument would sound on the 2020.

[@pksji]

Which best for voice recording. ???

[@Boysoundtechniques]

I love my at2020 is just beautiful

[@PauloGurgelAudiovisual]

I really like mxl for voices, but I notice at sax that doesnt picked up the higher frequencies as good as at2020.

[@pawelkaminskimusic]

In the end I went with a Rode NT2A which was better than both of these. More expensive but it was worth it.

[@TheGarageChronicles]

Thanks! Almost all the videos are voice work for mic comparison. I'm leaning towards the MXL's sound myself, but both are great for the price!

[@saymoncardososax8654]

At 2020 👍🎷

[@miajj]

i think mxl all the way

@Paweł Kamiński Saxophonist / Composer Among AT2020, AKG C3000 and MXL 990 what you prefer to be the best?

[@pawelkaminskimusic]

Never tried AKG C3000 and I chose Rode NT2A over MXL and AT2020. More pricey but well worth it.

[@MrSax93]

@@pawelkaminskimusic Yes, nt2a is really good. Anyway for a 200$ budget is good a nt1 or a aston origin?

[@pawelkaminskimusic]

@@MrSax93 Never tried any of them so can't comment but I've heard good things about NT1 so maybe you should consider it.

[@ohmuseek4290]

I think in this specific case i like more the at2020

[@Texturas75]

I kind of like both. A band mix would determine which is better for the sax.

[@pawelkaminskimusic]

Texturas75 In the end I went with a Rode NT2A which is more expensive but sounds great. You can watch a comparison I did between the Rode NT2A and an AKG C214.
Thanks for your comment :)

@@pawelkaminskimusic Thanks for the reply! Those Mics are def. in another league! Gonna check that out.

[@bobgreen1236]

Horses for courses....I like the MXL more on your tenor, I think on your alto it sounds a bit nasal, and prefer the AT 2020.....

[@bobgreen1236]

What pre amp are you using?

[@pawelkaminskimusic]

It's plugged straight into the Behringer Xenyx QX1002 USB so nothing fancy.

[@jimlereveilleur-ms7wc]

mxl by far

[@juansoloa1529]

MXL wins!

[@No.0.o.0]

Both at the same time? 2020 farther away.....

[@pawelkaminskimusic]

One after another so there might be some slight differences in mic placement.
