P120 all day long, had more open top end and clarity. The AT2020 has resonance in the lower mids I’d be working to get rid of. Thanks for doing the shootout really useful 👍🏻

@dominomolo Жыл бұрын

but the p120 sometimes get muffled.

@paulstorm2134 Жыл бұрын

Just on a face of it. It is quite annoying processing (de-essing) p120's more than 4dB boost at 12.9kHz as it picks up a lot of high esses. On the other hand, what might seem as muffled is actually more flat and easier to adjust in post-pro. Without the high pass engaged, the AKG has better freq response and more character, even though the RAW might sound more ear pleasing from AT.

What I love about this review is how wholesome it is. Often times I only hear people with high voices singing and talking, but you sang high, low and even mids. Personally I think they both sound very good and similar but I have a lower voice and I wanna record vocals and I was wondering which one you'd recommend for a lower voice?

@TimMoxeyMusic Жыл бұрын

After doing a frequency analysis of both the mics I think the AT2020 is the way to go. It has more detail across the board. The p120 sounds darker because of a lack of high frequency detail and low voices still have high frequency energy. I hope that helps.

I'll buy it back at some point). Either of these will work and are really not that different to each other.

I think you scooped the low mid in the AKG P120 a little too much. I love the P120 on the AC guitar and AT 2020 on the vocals. Overall I'd go for the P120. During post-recording EQing, I prefer to boost high frequencies to taste on vocals, rather than having to deal with scooping out problematic high frequencies.
