Behringer BX2020 Budget Mic Review / Test

Today I review the new budget mic from Behringer, the BX2020. Is it trying to copy the Audio Technica AT2020? We may never know. This is an affordable mic that has a quite sibilant top end and roll off in the low end. It also doesn’t do great at ambient noise rejection or plosive rejection. Oh did I mention that I have no idea if they’re trying to copy the AT2020?
