Frequently Asked Questions

The AKG has a slightly more aggressive high-end; the Rodes are more balanced and forgiving, particularly for less experienced users.
The Rode SB20 is perfectly functional for basic stereo placement, but a more robust bar might be preferable for critical tracking or demanding applications.
While capable, their cardioid pattern isn't ideal for capturing a wide, natural drum sound; more forgiving patterns would be preferable for overhead duties.
