Audio-Technica AT2035 vs Audio-Technica AT4040

You get this nice little shock mount. You get a plastic version of the 5.8 to 3.8 inch microphone stand adapter

Now we're about five feet away from the microphone. I Don't know I'd say we're about eight feet away from the microphone now. eight feet now. I'm gonn...

It worked GREAT!, awesome deep sound, when gaming, my friends told me I sounded crisp and clear, and I could have it 2 feet away from my face and it would pick up my sound(and some keyboard) with no issues. for the money I was really happy with it. Then, 3 weeks later, it died. Just like that, it gave up

Great for most acoustic audio recordings. Doesn't sound like a million dollars. But it sounds better than a lot of large diaphragm condenser mics that are sold for a similar price.

The exterior design here consists of metal, for the entirety of the build. I believe that this microphone is just slightly taller than the AT2020, so ...

Now let's talk about what comes in the box. First off, everything comes in this really nice storage box. You're obviously going to get the microphone....

I was skeptical about this mic for high-end audio work. Lately, looking for good condenser mics is difficult, because so many people review these "budget" mics for various podcast or YouTube/Twitch uses, and while they are happy with results, would those same budget mics work well in a small production studio? Unlike the social media uses, I'm looking for something that when in a properly conditioned room, does it capture a neutral response, have head room and provide little coloration? I can say with this mic, all YES. For the price, this provides a very neutral color with little debit where it counts for most midrange instruments and vocalists. In fact, compared to some other mics in the studio, I actually prefer this for baritone-to-alto singers because of the clarity

But this one here is really getting closer to that studio level microphone. Studios use the AT4040 all over the place. And it's definitely that price ...

Saved me another 15%. When all is said and done, a mic of this quality and a shock mount for less than $150, new, tax included? Can't be beat.

This product has been working since 2014 for me so the quality is great. The only thing you should consider is the pricing. It could be cheaper.
