Really good little condenser mic
Audio-Technica AT2021 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Reviewed by MikeP on B&H Photo Video
I have used this versatile microphone for instrument recording and tested it's use as a spare/secondary film dialogue microphone. For instrument recording, It sounded excellent used as drum overheads. It captured the full sound of the drums, and did especially well with the highs produced by the cymbals. I also used it as an ambiance mic to record a guitar amp from a distance of roughly 6 feet. It was able to capture details that the up close dynamic mic could not pick up. This mic combined with a close up dynamic mic makes an excellent guitar amp recording combo. As for film dialogue, It actually worked really well. It is not as bassy as other mics, but it captured the voice really well from a distance of about 2 feet, and the voice sounded crisp. It also did well rejecting noise from the room.. I am happy to have added this little mic to my gear inventory ... More
Very Solid Overhead Mic

Reviewed by Jacob Fanshier on Guitar Center
I bought this mic about a month ago, and since then I've recorded several acoustic guitar and drum tracks with it. It has a very clean and precise sound, and works very well recording and when run through a mixer. It sounded very crisp on the hi-hat, and worked well on an acoustic when micing either the 12th fret, or put 3 feet away and 4 feet high as an ambient effect. overall great mic, you won't be disappointed by buying one.

My friend and I have been doing some amateur recording with his MXL 990/991 pair. I figured it was time that I got my own condenser mics, so I went with this and its brother, the AT2020. I've only used this for recording acoustic guitar and cajon, but have been pretty satisfied with the sound quality. I place this mic a couple inches from the 12th-14th frets, and the AT2020 off-axis from the sound hole. I know there are better sounding, more expensive mics out there, but I'm glad to have started with this and the AT2020.

This mic sounds very nice for vocals, plucked string instruments, and woodwind instruments (at least that's what I've tried it on). I highly recommend it!

I set these up as a stereo pair on a baby grand piano, panned appropriately, and was absolutely floored by how good these sounded. Great small diaphragm condenser microphone for an extremely great price.

Great small mic for a kit

I use this exclusively as a hi-hat mic. With some careful positioning (and a right angle xlr) it has enough off-axis rejection to keep the cymbals out of the mix. Durable and small.
