Sorry !  I swapped a few days ago.  I had an AT2050
(multi-pattern) instead of the AT2020 and was still thinking of that
one, which I used for about 1.5 years.  I swapped it for the AT202 in
order to isolate a miking problem in which the sound would get much
lower at times in which case I would flick it with one nail and it
would be again up to the main volume.  I was suspecting the mic, the
cable, the preamp, the preamp's tube, so I started by swapping for the
AT202... problem gone.  Reminds me, I'll have to put it back to check
it out.  I still have a demo track with me flicking the mic near the
end :)
