We put the AKG Perception P220 microphone up against the Audio-Technica AT2020 to hear the difference on both male and female voice-over. Both of these microphones are often compared in the realm of both VO and music production as great starter microphones. We wanted to hear directly how they stood up against each other on VO in particular.
Not only could these microphones be great for those starting out, they could potentially also be great for talent on-the-go as a travel microphone for use in hotel rooms, etc. These could also be used for small podcasting setups or as a backup microphone for podcasts.
The AKG Perception p220 retails at around $150 and the AT2020 retails at around $100.
Female Talent: Laura Young
Male Talent: Greg Johnson
Keep in mind that these voiceover microphone comparisons are best when listened to in a quality set of headphones or studio monitors. It can be hard to hear the difference when listening on a laptop or phone.
Also, remember that every microphone will sound different on your voice and in your recording environment. The room where we record these comparison videos has been professionally built and acoustically treated, so these mics are likely to sound different in a different space.
