Hey.
Im looking to replace my RODE NT5 with something else, and Ive been adviced to look into the AT4040s.

I'm debating whether or not i should buy a pair of 414's for $1200CDN. Since I already have one 4033 I would just have to buy another one and that would be cheaper. Is it worth it to buy the AKG's even though they cost a lot more?

My Rane preamps provide +15v phantom power. The specs for my new AT4040 say +48v.

What are the ramifications of using +15v phantom power with the AT4040 mic?

I found this in my Rane Tech Notes (#148)

I have read many good comments here on AT mics, but never this model. Anyone have experience with this model? I can get one cheap, I just want to make sure I'm not buying the scurge of the 30 Series mics.

Also, any info on the ATM11R? OK? Junk?

What are the pros/cons of the SM81 vs AT4040 specifically for voice?

The targer vocalists are young female and male rockers, older male blues and rock.

Has anyone tried the new AE2500 mic from the artist elite series, its the new Condenser/Dynamic 2 in 1 Mic (kinda like pert plus). I talked to the company rep when he was in my area, he said its the revolutionary new mic thats sweeping the nation.

Could anyone provide a bit of an overview of the different large diaphram AT mics? I am interested in the $200 - $500 mics that they have to offer.

3035, 4040, 4033...

Given that I cannot make much sense of the specs, I thought someone might be able to share there thoughts on what the differences/applications are for them.

Thanks in advance.

Jim

I came across this new Tube mic from Audio-Technica, the AT3060, which doesn't require a separate power supply and runs on 48V phantom power; has anybody tried it or reviewed it (Kurt?)?

Im not sure if its okay to post this here but here goes. well I just remember fats saying he like AT mics alot, and I'm trying to trade or sell my AT 4050. I have it posted on the buy/sell/and trade section. I just thought I would post on here to see if fats wanted it.

Thanks, and sorry if this was a bad idea
:p:
