Professional Voice Recording Studio

I'm a professional voice-over artist, and audiobook narrator and this product answers all my home studio recording requirements.

If your needs are anything less than a professional recording studio, these are the headphones for you.

Professional use, recording voice for editing. Clear sound and easy to handle.

I do voice-overs for instructional DVDs and online videos. I had previously used a headset microphone, and was getting tired of all the trouble I had to go to to get reasonably clean audio. It seemed to pick up everything, and it had to be positioned on my head perfectly and I had to stand absolutely still while recording so the plastic parts wouldn't move and be picked up in the audio. Those might be okay for Skype, but they're not good for professional recording. I decided to upgrade to a more professional setup and while doing some research I came across an article here on B&H about voice-over recording. I asked for some advice in the comments and this was one of the microphones I was recommended. I bought it as part of a package that included a shock mount, stand, and pop filter. So far, I couldn't be happier. Easy, plug and play. I took some getting used to, a little adjustment before I got it set up the best for my situation, but it's cut down on the post-processing of my recordings considerably. With the recording level set right, it doesn't pick up a lot of the background noises my headset mic did. Usually just a noise pass and that's all I need to do! I don't know how much of a difference the pop filter and shock mount make in the sound quality, but I'm happy with the results. I'm just happy to be able to move my head around while I record! It's a decent price too, so I could recommend this to anyone starting out who is looking for decent equipment without spending too much money.

I got these as part of a package for setting up my home voice recording studio. I don't have much to compare them to, but they work great with the pre-amp and mic I bought with them. Before I set all that up, I plugged them into my ipod and the sound was incredible; I was getting chills from songs I'd never have given a second thought.

I wanted to set up a home recording studio for voice work and audiobook recording. I had heard that USB microphones were low quality, so I was looking at others, but then someone I trusted (with experience in audiobook production) told me the AT2020USB was absolutely THE best mic I could buy. After searching online, I found that B&H had it for $$less than anybody else!! When my mic arrived, I opened it and plugged it into my computer and VOILA! I was in business. It was so easy, and the quality is EXCELLENT. I am thrilled with the AT2020USB and recommend it to anybody who wants to get high quality without spending a bundle.

As a recording studio owner and engineer, I needed producers to be able to hear clear audio over long distance telephone land lines. I can now have voice over talent come in to record and the producer can be anywhere in the world. For $...it was well worth the investment. It will pay for itself in one voice over session!

I use this studio arm to make recording of my voice - for my YouTube videos easier. I did have to pull the cable out a little further near the end - where the mic plugs in. In order to allow the best configuration of the mic (with an isolation mount attached) without crimping the cable end - near the connector. One little note is that if you use the extension arm, make sure to have the retaining screw at the base of the mount out as much as possible - also make sure that the arm is all the way in. It might be a little difficult to know when it's all the way in, just push it in until you know for certain that it is fully inserted into the mount. (When I first set up the studio arm - while using the extension arm. I thought it was all the way in, and it wasn't - which could have caused the studio arm to fall, which would have messed up my computer)

Solid product. I use it in a home studio setup for voice recording. Convenient storage capability, doesn't take up a lot of space. Definitely worth the money.

I use this is a small recording studio for voice overs. It works perfectly. Clamp is solid and strong. It holds the mic in any position you leave it in. It is quiet and it includes 4 velcro straps to hold your cables in place. What more could you want?
