I've used AudioTechnica AT2020 condenser mics very successfully several
times at live concerts for 700 people. Once for fairly close miking a
resophonic guitar with a small backing band (CW Stoneking and the
Primitive Horn Orchestra), and as drum overheads for Colin Hay Band.
As one poster mentioned the pickup pattern must be cardioid for best
feedback rejection in a live situation.

ps. There seems to be a big increase in traffic on this list lately.
Does this mean Linux audio is much more popular now? :)
