Audio-Technica AT2020 The AT2020 from Audio-Technica breaks new ground in terms of quality and cost. Perfectly suited for today's home and project studio, the Audio-Technica AT2020 was designed by Audio-Technica engineers to fit comfortably in your mix and your budget at the same time. The perfect "first microphone," the AT2020 will finds its way into countless studios of all sizes. Sennheiser e609 Built on the performance and popularity of the Evolution 609 and legendary MD 409 dynamic microphones, Sennheiser re-engineered the e609's capsule for a punchier sound with more clarity to better capture the raw energy of guitar amps and loud brass instruments. Musicians and engineers flocked to the e609 due to its distinctive side-address design, supercardioid pickup pattern and famous low-mid growl. The tonal character has been tailored to more closely match that of the original MD 409. Samson C02 The Samson C02 offers a pair of small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones — ideal for both studio and stage use. With their sensitive, low-mass elements and high SPL handling, the C02 microphones excel at recording every nuance of sources such as drums, piano, cymbals, and acoustic instruments. If you need to record outside, a foam windscreen is included — it's also handy for reducing plosives on vocal sources. Other features gold-plated XLR connectors, feedback-rejecting supercardioid pickup patterns, and included shockmount microphone clips, and a carrying case with the Samson C02. Custom-cut Waterproof SKB Case Protect your mics with a custom-cut waterproof case from SKB. The case itself is an Injection Molded Mil-Standard Utility Case, which gives you true waterproof protection, as well as tough construction that can take the rigors of the road. Constructed of strong polypropylene copolymer resin, the case also features an airtight gasketed design (it's actually submersible!), built-in ambient pressure equalization valve, and "Trigger Release" latching system.

July 17, 2012 Music Background: Hobbyist/Recording Engineer PERFECT STARTER PACK!
by Scott W from New York, NY
For the money, this is a great deal. If you're just getting into buying you're first mics, these are a perfect starting point. The case is sturdy and rock solid and I definitely wouldn't have bought t... read more [+]his had it not came with it.September 10, 2010 Music Background: Recording Engineer As for the mics, I think they are great starter mics. The AT2020 has decent clarity, nothing amazing, but considering it's price it performs well. I've used it on a variety of applications and really have no complaints. I've paired it with the e609 Silver and a sm57 on a guitar cabinet in my home studio and it was wonderful. I was quite surprised at it's performance. Clearly it's not a U67 or a 251, but hell, for 100 dollars, the thing does what it needs to do. The CO2 mics are good. If you need overheads and you don't want to spend a fortune these are great. They are a bit brittle nothing catastrophic that an eq couldn't fix) in my opinion when I used them as overheads but they PERFORMED WELL. It's not like people who have heard them in recordings say "Hey are those CO2s? They sound pretty bad." I recommend better Pencil Condensers for overheads but once again, these are a good place to start for newcomers. They performed well on Acoustic Guitars as well and even worked as an experimental-strangely-placed room mic. As for the Sennheiser e609 SILVER, I don't know how anyone can say anything bad about it. It's great right out of the box, when placed correctly on a guitar cabinet, this thing works wonders. I often found myself not eq'ing the e609 due to the pure goodness it picks out of the guitar signal. I've used it on the bottom and top of snares and also on toms and it sounded magical. The e906 (609's more expensive bigger brother) is a little more versatile as it comes with presence filters, but once again, for a Starter Pack, the e609 is perfect. My only suggestion is to get a Shure sm57 as well and you'll be set. I recommend this to anyone buying their first Mics, they will definitely perform the way you need especially if you're running something like an MBox or a FastTrack. close [-] SW Mic locker

They all work great! Great value. Just wish there was room in the case for the mic cords.
June 20, 2012 Music Background: vocal hobbyist Not a Bad Deal
by Christopher Portman from Houston, TX
The previous reviewer makes some very good points regarding the quality and versatility of an AT4040 paired with an SM57 (the latter of which you really should have if you've been recording anything. ... read more [+]And even if you haven't, then an SM57 is an absolute must-have.)July 15, 2010 Music Background: Recording Engineer, Live Sound Engineer, Session Musician, Producer There are a few microphones that match and/or exceed the quality of an AT4040 at a bit better price pointÑthough this is admittedly purely a matter of opinion because any recording engineer knows that $$$ means zilch when it comes to getting the 'right' sound. It's about 'what sounds right for what you're doing,' not the moolah spent to buy it. Heck, Bono sang into an SM58 on U2's most recent album! Thom Yorke prefers an Electrovoice RE20 dynamic (broadcasting) mic. A far cry from an esoteric $8,000 vintage Neumann U87! So, go with your ear. Always. I've played some live venues with these same pencil condensers offered by Samson, and I was pleasantly surprised by their sound. Particularly at this price point. And my personal preference for drum overheads when recording is Royer ribbons, Neumann U87s, and lately AKG 414s. So, I know what sounds good. I've used 'em all. Or at least the ones that matter. And the Samsons truly are a decent bang for the buck. I imagine they'd likely do an acoustic guitar justice when miked up as a stereo pair. The Sennheiser e609 is a very popular microphone for use on electric guitar amps and toms. I've seen Mick Fleetwood use them on his toms and they sounded fantastic. This is a mic that could be thrown into the 'must have' category alongside the SM57 if one plans on miking guitar amps. I've had a little experience with the AT2020 and it's a surprisingly solid and versatile large-diaphragm condenser that's usable for everything from tracking vocals to acoustic guitars, and can even even serve as a nice 'ambience room mic' for adding fullness to a drum kit or, well, really anything. If you're truly new to microphones it's incredibly easy to get bogged down in the details. If possible, I recommend talking to people whose ear you can trust or, even better, audition the mikes yourself and see what you think. And remember, a great sounding preamp can make any mic sound richer and fuller. I've used some RODE valve microphones combined with my Avalon 737 and Trident channel strips while recording my $6,000 Taylor acoustic guitar, and it trumped a producer/friend's U87 with his esoteric pre. Overall, if you're truly a beginner, this really is a great starting point. You can't go wrong here. If however you've already amassed even a few mikes, like say an SM57, and a decent large diaphragm condenser, then talking to a Sweetwater representative about how to best expand your mic collection further while saving the most money is my highest recommendation. close [-] Don't be mislead..

First of all, this is an amazing deal! I think when you buy the package you save around 30 dollars off what you would pay for each item individually plus you get a super nice carrying case, but sadly ... read more [+]that's when the deal stops for me. The AT2020 is an "OK" microphone worth 100 dollars but will not give you a clear vocal response. I got average results on hi-hats and an acoustic guitar with it but that's it. The e609 is TERRIBLE! don't believe any other reviews! I can't stress it enough buy an sm-57 and be done with it. The only saving quality is the samson overheads. they are suprisingly good for the money and actually with a little mixing can make your drums, or acoustic guitar sound beautiful.May 13, 2010 Music Background: recording engineer What I would recommend instead. save up 400 dollars and buy an Audio-Technica AT4040, and an sm-57. it will be 100 dollars and you will sacrifice one microphone but you will be glad you did. the AT4040 is AMAZING! AT: acoustic guitar, vocals, overheads, and electric guitar. also when paired with the sm-57 you bought your guitar tracks will be changed forever. The sm-57 by itself will handle any acoustic drum. Tom, snare etc, acoustic guitar (great paired with the AT4040) and electric guitar! Save your money get the good stuff. close [-]
