Audio-Technica AT4033CL Classic Studio Condenser Microphone

No longer available at zZounds
On a budget? Need a cardioid large-diaphragm condenser mic? This is it! Capture clean, clear, present and up-front vocals and more, with the classic AT4033.

For recording at home or in the studio, you can't go wrong with the Audio-Technica AT4033CL studio condenser microphone! Part of A-T's long-running 40 series, the AT4033 offers clean and noise-free audio capture with its transformerless symmetrical circuitry and exceptional transient response. This pro-audio classic features a precision-machined acoustic element baffle to respond exceptionally well to whatever audio you're trying to track. A wide frequency response and a high maximum SPL makes this baby incredibly versatile, and an included dust cover, AT8449 shock mount, and carry case will get you ready to record as soon as your AT4033CL arrives at your recording space.

Whisper-Quiet Transformerless Circuitry

This is it -- the classic edition of the legendary AT4033. You can record knowing that every take captures clear sound, free of buzz, hum, or other unwanted self-noise. That's because this baby is built with a transformerless symmetrical circuit and a floating-construction capsule design. Your AT4033CL utilizes a 2-micron-thick, vapor-deposited gold diaphragm -- a design that undergoes a five-step aging process that'll keep this venerable mic performing optimally over years of recording.

Wide-Reaching and Versatile

This condenser mic reacts very fast to mid and high frequencies, making it a wonderful companion for recording vocals, guitars, brass instruments, piano, voiceover, drum overheads, broadcasting, and much more. A frequency response of 30 Hz to 20 kHz read more yields a wide reach of audio capture, and a high maximum SPL of 145 dB allows you to record instruments at high volume levels without the worry of distortion or breakup.

Arrives Ready to Record with Shock Mount and Case

To help get you recording right away, Audio-Technica has included an AT8449 shock mount, which provides stability and just enough flexibility to ward off vibrations or any other physical interferences during your session. Also included is a dust cover and a carry case for storage and transportation.

- Large-diaphragm condenser microphone

Sound
Very Very good condenser mic without spending the huge money(I run it through an Apogee Duet with Logic/KRKVXT6's/BeyerDT250's in my 10'by12'home studio)..absolutley world class!.My music flo is Acoustic/SingerSongwriter-very very nice on acoustic guitar and even better on vocals...on soft intimate vocals very present and detailed/takes a strong more forceful vocal with ease and good detail-the presence/feel this mic produces across a broad dynamic range is very nice...IMHO my gear is pretty good by home studio standards and so I am able to pick up next to anything going on outside of my soundsource/gear and to my pleasant suprise its not too sensitive to outside noise, and barring a passing V8/Train/Plane it actually keeps very good focus to the recorded source pretty tightly...Also actually fine to use without a pop screen(although I do use one occasionally)and it handles plosives/ess'ing pretty damn well....has a nice low self noise(again I have good sensitive gear and can notice otherwise)...equally good when sound source is up on the grill or 6ft back on it....Nice plugged into Genz Benz LT150 Acoustic Amp micing vocals and acoustic...

Came with a nice shockmount of good quality solid build..,just like the mic,basically its very good to go, nice look black matte finish-looks good...like singing to a beautiful girl-it makes a difference singing into a good looking mic!...hahaha...(you know its true!)

Ease of Use
Very easy to use, plug into my Apogee duet(has Phantom Power)and its on...have also used into my Genz Benz Shendoah LT150 micing both directly into amp and through vocal TC Helicon Voicetone correct pedal or just micing acoustic guitar, and it sounds very nice especially at lower levels until feedback(only used in small room with bad acoustics-so unsure how it sounds at higher sound level in a better suited environment...I bet its not bad and I am defintley keen to try!haha;)....

Quality
Superb quality-people go on about Chinese condenser blah blah blah....but are you kidding,this is SOLID(accessories included)...This mic is sooo good it has made me an Audio Technica fan for life, I have since purchased an AE5400 handheld condenser which just shines...I am looking into an AT4021 for acoustic guitar studio/live and to be honest-if I had more cash to buy "higher end" gear i.e "the big names"i.e nuemann etc etc I would just go see what Audio Technica has in their top end of mic's....my thinking-if I can get such a great mic's a this price, what can I get from these guys for that quite a bit extra?....a prettty simple no brainer(for me anyway!)..

Value
I did HEAPS of research...(Listen to "Big Brother"...)and save yourself some time haha!!Best value for money/quality punches well above its weight-FULL STOP.

Manufacturer Support
Never had problems ,no need to...have you ever heard of anyone needing AT for support....I do ALOT of research before I buy my gear and I have never heard of anyone needing to...tells/told me one thing/pretty exceptional quality gear....

The Wow Factor
Like I said before, something feels right about singing into a thing like this!However the most important thing(right?haha..) is the beautiful way this reproduces sound...Who can go wrong(I am fussy and I didnt.....anyway..)
