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.

Desirability:
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.

Ease of Use:
Almost indestructible.

Support:
Never needed it.

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!

Feature:
pad, hp filter....its all you need, however a multi directional pattern would have been nice.

Quality:
great quality, i need a better preamp

Value:
you gotta get one of these or two...i have two

Desirability:
woo, i wanted it, i bought it

Sound:
great sound....very clean and bright

Ease of Use:
easy

Overall:
great mic for under 1000

Feature:

Quality:

Sound:
great sound,although the noise spec. is not as good as my AT4040
