Incredible value!

I heard about this kit from a friend. I'd been wanting a pair of Audio-Technica 4050s, but couldn't even afford one, let alone two. My friend told me that the 2020 (the large diaphragm mic) was a good alternative in a fixed cardioid pattern. I decided that I wanted a stereo pair, so I got 2 sets. I figured for the price that I might as well get the extra mics for the few extra bucks. I have NEVER regreted this purchase!!! The 2020 is actually a tiny bit better than the 4050 in cardioid mode according to AT's web site. The 2021 is a fabulous mic for inside a piano, on acoustic guitars, etc. My piano recordings sound as good as any I've heard from Telarc Digital, and better than many pop recordings. I use the 2021s in a near coincident pair configuration inside the piano, and the stereo field is W I D E , with beautiful frequency response. I'm amazed at how little this set costs for the performance they give me. Best mics for the price I've ever used!!!

Excellent mics

This pair of large and small condenser mics is are perfect for the home studio. They rival mics costing 3 to 4 times as much. I discovered them through a couple of books I have been reading regarding getting the most out of a home studio. They were highly recommended by people with professional studio backgrounds. They do a great job and sound fantsatic.

Great Price for Two Great Mics

I bought these mics with an expectation that they would only be "budget gear" but I was really suprised at the results that I got. From the 2021, I was amazed at the sound that I got from an acoustic guitar. The 2020 is great for vocals really a good sound. I was so impressed that I bought a second pack and again was blown away by the 2021s in X/y pattern on an acoustic and as overheads. If your looking for great mics and a great price this is your ticket.

Great! But, 2020 is NOT a Large Diaphragm!

These mics are great for the cost - I used two of these packages for a long time as stereo pairs. Make note however, the 2020 is NOT a Large Diaphragm... the description is misleading, and AT calls the mic a "Side Address Condenser." Under the hood, the capsule is actually a strange looking medium diaphragm. This results in a sound that can be harsh, but utilizing off axis mic positioning can compensate for this a little.
