This mic sounds great, as a vocal mic. It has a rich low end, and sizzling highs. For the price they asked, it was unbeatable. It is technicaly not produced anymore, however the AT8031 appears to be the exact same mic, with a higher price.

Mine could use an on/off switch.

Because of it's great frequency response, it can feedback fairly easily on high notes. Everything is a trade off. If you want nice highs, this is the price you pay. It truly is a nice mic, and my first choice for my vocals.

It's sturdy.

This mic is a great deal, and the new version (which is the same as the old one) is still worth it, at the higher price.

Audio Technica tech support is good.

It is sleek and stylish.

It was not so long ago when,during a soundcheckfor a known female singer I had some spare time and found this mic in the mic case. So I thought why not try it. I did not expect much but was really surprised about the tranparency and clarity of this mic. You get a real sweet full sound with this mic. When the singer then arrived I asked her to check this mic for a while. Although she usually uses a Shure Beta 87A she insisted to use this mic during the gig. It was not a bad decision, her voice came over, clear, full and transparent. This is a seriously phantastic sounding microphone.

I do not know if you should use phantompower on this mic, there is a 1.5 volt battery in the mic, - but whatever, this is a very nice sounding vocal mic

As any microphone

The mic I tested looked rather old but worked perfectly which points out that this is a high quality microphone

I can imagine there are more expensive mics out there than the ATM31 which sound less good. This mic in my opinion is of great value.

I do not know

I will use this mic more often now, Pity its a discontinued model.
