Hello there. I am sort-of setting up a small Home-Studio in my Basement, and as looking for a good mic. I came across the "Audio-Technica AT2035 Condenser Microphone"

I have AT3035 with "brick" preamp. Record vocals only! So I'm wondering is it worth it to make a jump from AT3035 to AT4033? I mean will it have that much difference?

Just bought one of those snare/tom mics with a short stand off a guy for 20 bucks. Are they any good? They seemed to sell for like 350 new for the kit of 4 mics and they are built and look similar to the ATM line {like tanks}. I might buy the rest of the kit off of him if I like. Thought I couldnt really beat the price i am on a very very tight budget.

I wonder if there is a correlation between our discussions of these and eBay prices. One of these went for $186.09 yesterday. Close to the top price for the mics that display on completed sales.

I assume that AT replaced this with the ATM250 and the stereo ATM250DE. Has anyone done a direct comparison between the old and the new?

Anybody own one? What are your thoughts? Applications?

I'm planning on upgrading my mic which do you think would be better for brighter vocals?..i only have a budjet of 1000 dollars for a mic and a preamp, or just a mic, I'm leaning towards the at2050, but the bluebird is slowly gaining my interest.

Hey everyone, been researching this last night and today.

The AT 4050 seems cool but I already have a multipattern mic(AKG perception 400)... so my main question is, is the 4040 the same thing just without multiple pickup patterns?

Plus, what is the general opinion of the T3 vrs the AT mics?

thanks

Hey guys,

I have a Studio VTB-1 which has a setting of 50ohm or 200ohms as the Mic Impedence.

My concern is that my Audio-Technica is 100Ohm Impedence.

Is this a big deal and does it affect the sound very much?
Which setting should I use?
Is it strange that the AT 4040 is only 100ohms for a condenser?

Anyone got any experience with one or two of these? Just looking for some thorough reviews.

As subject states. I'm considering either a pair of RODE nt5's or a pair of AT3031's. Here in Vancouver Canada, the prices are as follows for each:

RODE : $495 for a stereo pair

AT's: $199 a piece ($398 pair)
