| | | Subject: | I Love Audio Technica Mics | | Quality:
| This is a very well made product. Durable, solid, and rugged. | | Features:
| Are pretty standard for a single pattern large diaphragm condenser mic. | | Ease of Use:
| Unfortunately the mout that it ships with is set for European style mic stands. Therefore you need an adapter to the larger diameter American size. Thats really the only downside. | | Sound:
| So far I have only tried it on A vocal an an acoustic guitar with old strings (I did this deliberately). Its sounded great. The vocal was rich and full and the guitar had presence and fullness. While it wasn't bright on the Guitar (because of the old strings as is to be expected) it still had amazing clarity. The mic is clear and present and perfect for my uses. I've used the 4033 for years and let me say while not sounding like a 4033 it still had that same great Audio Technica sound which has worked fro me on a lot of things. So So far so good definitely worth what you pay. | |
