Well, it wasn't that long ago that Audio Technica was essentially an MI
brand. But I don't think they outsource their manufacturing.


The do on the AT2020 and AT2021, BUT (and it's a big BUT) the deal is a bit
different when AT goes to China and says they're going to order umpteen
thousand mics and they better be right, and they check them in China, again
in Japan and again in Ohio before they hit the street.

That's leverage the small importers just don't have.

And the AT2020 and AT2021 won't sound as good as their 40xx series.
