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... Feature: 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..) Overall: I will always keep it-its too good, I might look into some higher end AT's somewhere down the line cicumstances($$$)permitting haha...this AT4033 is the bomb, would mind checking out other high end"tube"mic's from them maybe.....if a mic at this price is this good?....ummmmmm

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Ease of Use: Almost indestructible. Quality: Stands up to all my other mics in almost all situations. Great for vocals, acoustic guitars, even pianos and amps. I would call that versitle. I also use it with analogue as well as digital venues with equal quality. Value: Outstanding. Comparable to many "famous" mics that cost much, much more. I have recorded with 414s and U87s and the AT33 actally does some things better, especially in home recording situations, and holds its own in all situations. Manufacturer Support: Never needed it. The Wow Factor: Have the original. Am pleased that ater over a decade, a whole lot of people in music have agreed...That is why there is a Special Edition. Overall: I own the original...still working beautifully after 13 years. Currently, there are a pleathora of inexpensive (cheap?) mics on the market that tempt most of us. However, this one is priced very reasonably, but it gives much more quality than any other mic in the class. Buy it, You have 414s and U67s or U87s? But it. You will use it, and I believe you will adore it!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
