Audio Technica AT2010 Condenser Mic Review / Test HD

Today I review the Audio Technica AT2010, a condenser microphone designed to be used on stage for live performances. The mic does an insanely good job at rejecting handling noise, while offering a more neutral tone than a standard dynamic stage mic. However, the mic does awful at rejecting plosives, it does pick up a touch more background noise, and it has a somewhat high self noise of 23dB.
