Audio Technica AT3035 Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Shockmount
Outstanding performance and versatility. Includes multi-position shock mount.
"best mic for the money I have ever used!"
Feature:
the mic comes with a simple yet very excellent shock mount and an effective bass roll off when you need it.
Quality:
The quality is impeccable. Beautiful engineering and solid build. I have used Audio-technica 4031 mics for years as well. They are just made well!
Value:
just an incredible buy. Like many reviewers have said, get them before hte price goes up.
Desirability:
beautiful Engineering
Sound:
I record live to two track stereo recordings of acoustic music. most of my recordings are of singers/acoustic guitar. This micorphone for the price is just simply one of a kind! I use two of them in an XY or spaced pair fairly close to the artist (two to four feet at chin level. If you record in a similar fashion, listen to this magical little mic before you buy anything else. all of those Chinese phenoms get the press but this mic is just flat out great!!!
Support:
Never needed it so I just guessed

Audio-Technica AT3035 Mic Customer Review
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Low freq rolloff and a 10 dB pad round up the featureset, as well as a shockmount.
Quality:
Gorgeous metallic finish and fits snugly into the included shockmount
Value:
Amazing quality for such an inexpensive condenser microphone.
Sound:
Excellent clarity and noise isolation, even in a room with relatively noisy computers. Worked flawlessly for my application (mostly male vocal recording) when used with an M-Audio Omni i/o (Delta 66). This microphone definitely went above and beyond my expectations for a sub-$200 large-diaphragm condenser.
"ON A BUDGET OR NOT IT IS A MUST HAVE...BUY IT!!!!!"

"This is truly a great Microphone !!"
Feature:
It has a switchable High Pass filter (80 hz rolloff filter) and a switchable -10db attenuator . These features that work very well! A microphone like the Neumann TLM103 which costs alot more doesn't have these features. I prefer the overall sound of the AT3035 over my Neumann TLM103!!!
Quality:
The quality of this mic along with my Audiotechnica AT40 series mics are really excellent!
Value:
This is the best value for a mic at this price!
Desirability:
I already own one!! I'll be getting another!
Sound:
I like this mic as much as my Audiotechnica at4033 and at4040.It really is awesome on male and female voices.Does a decent job on anything you put in front of it's capsule!
Support:
I haven't really needed Audiotechnica Customer support.

"GREAT MIC!!!!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:The 10db pad and the low cut filter switches on the mic are outstanding
Quality:
Sturdy construction the shockmount is a little cheap but it does the job
Value:
At 139.00 you couldn't beat that price with a stick considering this same mic is selling everywhere else for at least 199.00
Desirability:
Good looking piece of equipment
Sound:
I have used several studio condensers and this one is the best by far! I also own the MXL 990 and for the price range it rivals most 5-600 dollar mics
Ease of Use:
Just plug it in and your ready to go doesn't get any simpler than that
Support:
Haven't needed them
Overall:
For a start up home studio on a budget this is the mic for you
"Pretty good mic if you don't need much low end"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:Bass rolloff and pad. I don't like the shockmount - it looks like if inverted the mic might drop out, but I have not had that happen yet (afraid to invert it).
Quality:
Built like a tank.
Value:
At around $105, it is a great buy. At $150, I might prefer a CAD M179.
Desirability:
It is a good looking mic.
Sound:
I love the top end on this mic as it is very flat, not hyped like many condenser mics. The mids and highs are clear and articulate (perhaps a wee bit grainy). But the low end is disappointing and almost non-existent, at least at 9-12" distance. I would recommend 3-6" distance with pop filter for best sound from this mic. Compared to my NT-1a, SM7b, or AT4047 (all set flat), the AT3035 sounds like it has a strong bass rolloff even though I have it set flat.
Ease of Use:
Nothing to it. Need to use it close for vocals though, so the proximity effect can compensate for the lack of bottom.
Support:
Have not dealt with AT, but I have heard they have good support.
Overall:
Good mids and highs, weak bottom. Just fair shockmount. Very well made mic, sturdy.
"Nothing sounds bad with this mic!"
I use a pair of them for stereo micing. Before buying I tested againced some much pricer mics including a TLM103 and the AT3035 won out! Everything sounds warm and detailed. Almost ruler flat responce. Very quiet. Nice hot output. I've recorded just about every type of instrament with it, everything sounds excellent! You won't be disapointed with this mic!!!!!
"AT 3035 "audio-technica quality for a lot less than you would believe.""
Feature:
The pads and filters work extremely well for reducing unwanted noise. It rivals the control capabilities of more expensive microphones.
Quality:
It is a well made microphone as far as AT quality. The only flaw is with the AudioTechnica mount. You have to be carefull not to strip the fine threads.
Value:
"An inexpensive way to add AT quality to your microphone arsenal."
Desirability:
It looks great on stage or in the studio.
Sound:
This AT3035 is a great microphone for recording bluegrass vocals and instruments. It shares a lot of the same characteristics with it's big brother, the AT4033.
Ease of Use:
The 48 volt phantom power brings out the full capabilities of this microphone in the studio environment,however it will work on stage with as little as 15 volts and still retain great control capabilities.
Support:
I have never needed to return an AT product but they are very quick to help with any technical questions you may have. The internet site is very easy to navigate.
Overall:
The only way I would replace this microphone would be with an AT4033 or AT 4040. This microphone matches their sound for a lot less money.

"Just what i was looking for!!!!."
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Quality:Hardcore quality i love it.
Sound:
The sound the this mic has is fenomenal specially because of the price very afforable so don't think twice for this price you can't get something similar.
Ease of Use:
So easy just plug and play.
"YOU NEED A PAIR OF THESE. Read why:"
Feature:
Low-cut and 10dB pad are useful for close-up male vocals and various instrument miking applications. Shock mount is first-rate. Has a nice storage zip pouch. Would be nice if it came with a foam screen, though.
Quality:
Great quality. Housing is solid brass, nearly 1/4" thick and practically indestructible. Top-quality components all around.
Value:
You CANNOT get a better mic for the money. PERIOD. This mic (if it wasn't so easy to get) could easily be worth $500 - $900.
Desirability:
For the price, every serious studio should have at least 1 pair of these. It also looks great, has a both a "classic" and a "high-tech" look to it.
Sound:
Wonderful clarity. So transparent you can't tell the difference between live and the recording. Extremely versatile, works well in almost any setting, even where you wouldn't normally use a studio condenser. Works great with digital interfaces, has extremely low self-noise and perfectly flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz. Amazing!!!
Support:
Has a factory 1-year warranty. Would be nice to have an extendend warranty option, but even so this mic will probably outlast your career.
Overall:
Once you start using this mic you won't need or want to replace it. AT has brought $500+ studio condenser performance into the $200 price range, and sacrificed nothing.
