Audio-Technica AT 2010

well youknow, this mic is nice. the price aint the lowest but its sill low budget and some easy investment of money. first of all it needs phantom power. I wanted to know if thats true cauz I always had dynamic mics in the past and the phantom power in fact is necessary.. research done.

one thing that makes the at 2010 a good choice for the price is its frequency response. nice detail same as present highs. mids can be boosted without clipping too fast (if I need some more mids). if I boost my dynamic mic seriously I get a peak over.

for me it was a bit confusing first to buy a mic without switch, my dynamic one has a switch like most dynamic mics have, but I guess its cauz dynamic mics are meant for vocals and therefore a switch makes some sense in live scenarios.
