Both mics are industry standard with the at2020 occupying the lowend throne for studio mics and the sm58 being the stage standard but the at2020 is just far more suitable for studio work

The audio quality on this one is pristine requiring me to use no voice effects from my rodecaster duo to reach a quality sound
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
