All user reviews for the Audio-Technica AT3035

What type of microphone?
I use it mainly for voice taken, but I took percussion, guitar, it is a bit passe partout

NOTICE GLOBAL

How long have you use it?
3 years in home studio and mobile studio. I have lots of stuff recorded with this mic. He never above. 250, one pays a micro worthy of the name. The Apex I had before saturais quickly and Alche after 18 months. The AT30-35 is ground and solid. both on percussion, guitars, voices, he takes everything well. Neutral, it does not color the sound. Hyperdirectionnel, he takes it before him, ideal for nomadic config.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Apex 450, by one against the more than blah!

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
+ Happening everywhere, versatile, neutral.
- Lacking in harmonic.

With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes, we still need a versatile microphone.

Average condenser microphone diaphragm, high sensitivity, very versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

Audiotechnica sells mid-range or high range with very competitive rates. The market opportunity is quite low, and as the products are of very good quality, they tend to do good business. I use the AT3035 microphone for three years now and I must say it gave me a lot of services. It is neutral and versatile, good sensitivity to record sounds and dynamics at relatively low self-noise and low enough not to be disappointed. It is a micro I recommend against the plethora of sub-brands of home studio. We are professional in the field with adequate characteristics and excellent reliability. In this range, I prefer the AKG C214 is more expensive but well crafted and precise, and of course more difficult to use.

It is a condenser microphone condenser comes with the suspension.
Well done, finish OK, OK robustness
He disappeared from the catalog Audio Technika, replaced by 3030 the quality has improved since.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought two 10 years ago, to make studio taken, especially voice. May also take the most powerful instruments too, and also stereo overheads.
Relatively sensitive and neutral, they made me procure quality with which I can work nickel.
Not very expensive, it is a choice I assume, to achieve very good models with Samplitude ProX.

Primarily a singer, I've been playing guitar for about 10 years, been in a band (drummer!), and have continued to record and play with other musicians on a non-professional basis. My styles range from folk to hard rock, with heavy power-pop leanings -- Big Star, not Green Day.

Bought at Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles for $200. I needed a better microphone for acoustic guitars and vocals.

I can't afford higher-end mikes that cost $4000, and I am quite pleased with the sound I get from the AT3035. After acquiring it, I used it on an acoustic-guitar/vocal recording and was stunned at how much clearer the sound was compared with my old recordings. I also use it for film voice-over and ADR work and the mike yields pretty clean results even without a soundproofed room. When shopping for the microphone at Guitar Center, I tested this against a Nady, an MXR and an AKG Perception -- some of those were more expensive than the AT3035, some were less -- but the AT3035 was the winner by a landslide in terms of clarity and construction quality.

Nothing, really, except that the metal at the top of the microphone is a little soft and gets dented easily.

Very good. It's not too heavy, but feels sturdy enough. It also comes with its own shockmount and soft carrying case.

Getting this microphone completely changed the sound of my recordings. Suddenly my vocals began to sound much more professional, I could hear myself far better while recording and so I could also perform better. And the AT3035 also does fine recording acoustic guitars. For $200, it's a great piece of equipment.

Acquired this mic to primarily record vocals. Paid about 150 bucks on ebay.

The microphone has a really flat response, no extensive coloration, vocals sound clear. It does not pick up siblance, sometimes doesn't even need a pop filter. You can't beat the quality for the price.

The low-end sometimes needs to be turned up a little. Jangly sound when recording acoustic guitar.

Sturdy unit. I'm not afraid of damaging this mic...almost looks durable enough to take on tour.

Great mic...records the high end especially well. Can't beat the price.

I bought it for under $200 at Guitar Center. I bought it primarily for home recording vocals and accoustic guitar.

Very sturdy unit with excellent shockmount. The microphone fits the shockmount very well. No problem with vibrations. The unit has a hi-pass filter which is so good you can use the unit without a pop filter. With the hi-pass filter engaged, it gives good body to the voice without extensive coloration. Or, without the hi-pass filter it records top end presence really well, however you need the pop filter because its difficult to do away with the p's and s's (sibilance) otherwise. The unit also has a 10 db pad for recording really loud instruments. It requires phantom power.

The two switches for hi-pass and 10 db pad are a little on the cheesy side, indented and difficult to use. Your not likely to use the 10db pad switch much, but the hi-pass filter might be something to turn off and on depending on the effect your trying to achieve. The unit does not come with any other protection for the microphone other than the box, which is probably what you'd use to store the microphone when not in use. There's a small bag for the shockmount.

Basically, very well constructed and a very good unit for the price. Too bad the little plastic switches are a little cheesy but I guess there has to be some concessions to get a microphone of this quality for under $200.

Very good microphone. It will definitely do the job for you, and you will have a lot of fun with it, and it will definitely get the results your looking for in the home recording studio situation, unless you want to pay alot more.

Taken to singing and acoustic guitar

condenser microphone

comes with its suspension

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months with an M-audio card
APRS is your exact me more honest view of
terms of use (home without acoustic treatment)
with audio hardware budget reasonable and the price of micro (250-270)
I got taken enough prcises very dynamic
However, it appears that the low end is not well restitubr trs /> ct of another are needed for a voice or an acoustic guitar down
less than 40Hz. Overall it lacks a little warmth but it could also be due to the quality of the audio and the lack of a compressor pramp ...
In résumé is perfect for home studio, a store ct rode NT2 ...

I bought this micro enviro 2000 F in 2002 as the first condenser microphone. is a standard micro manufacturing a large capsule (well. .. you can see it but I can not say exactly what size, near an inch I think) that I use in PRSI of his song on an exclusive basis (taking Given the very rsustats donns by means of taking the test instruments

Well it's on, at The definition of sound, home recording studio, it has nothing to do with a Shure SM 58, which I recorded my voice before.

The main advantage of this micro RSID in the right DEFINITIONS at the top of the spectrum, which corresponds well to male voices and serious as mine. even for cetrains types of acoustic guitar music.

OVERALL OPINION

The main advantage of this micro RSID in the right DEFINITIONS at the top of the spectrum, which corresponds well to male voices and serious as mine. even for cetrains types of acoustic guitar music.

However, after several months of utilistation, we clearly see the limits and default:

mdiums of some sour and a lack of DEFINITIONS in the bass and consquence, fminines voice and percussion ^ and especially the sax are a little cringe.

the lack of roundness can interfere with many types of records, but considering the price, do not render a esprer U87 either ....

Recommended for the purchase of a first condenser microphone, but in my case, I turn to a dja tube microphone (Studio project TB1) for heat rcuprer whose lack cruellment 3035.

Cardioid electret condenser microphone
Primary use: making male and female voices + guitar and small percussion instruments ...

OVERALL OPINION

That's 8 months now ... enough to be a good idea ...
Most (like new): acute sharpness ...
The least: low, perhaps a little behind ... but then, less colorful ... more "neutral" ... that was the view after purchase - 3 months later: the bass is back, more neutral, obviously ... but accurate ... and just little to warm up all that ... and finally, I prefer to have a clear sound that I can warm up a bit rather than its too hot or too bright not to touch up properly ...
I tested the NT1-A ... a bit too shiny for my taste ... (Limit in severe drooling ... this says it's still a good mic ... ... it was just not suited to what I was looking.)
The advantage of AT3035 in relation to the rode: low-cut filter (useful when you are in an apartment) and attenuator.
I also referred to the electronics se2200a Se ... but the history of audio technica won my confidence in front of the production "made in china" from se2200a.
Finally, in the studio projects I referred to the B1 and TB1 ... but ultimately, the B1 was quite inaccurate in the low (limit drooling too ...)... but there is an excellent quality / price (99 euros unbeatable!)
When the TB1 ... I think it will be for my next birthday ... the heat of a lamp ... (Found at tb1 advantage: the lamp that warms a little while without being too ... and this "vagueness" in front of a Neuman ... attention, I mean the positive side: less accurate: less stress .. . but hey ... what's next ... probably ...

Next value / price: 220 euros for Audio Technica, delivered with suspension ... not bad ... but I'm not sure there is no better.
In any case, the impressions are pretty good. I did a voice test with and without filter ... same thing with an acoustic guitar ... I placed the microphone in different parts of the room to see ... or rather, hear the sensitivity of the beast ...
After 8 months of use ... moult and configurations ... It turns out that this microphone is excellent in my register of votes (low medium) ... At first I thought he sounds a bit "taken" by the acute ... but once mastered the beast ... it's happiness!
Well, like many microphones of this type, we must add a little something to warm the signal (preamp, eq ...) ... the simplest and fastest way: activate "Datube" in cubase, add a small grain ... and that's hot with a low current without much take over the rest of the spectrum ... well ... a nice little preamp (type "tube pre" ... walkthrough budget) is also nicely ... it brings a little heat to your components ... (To be used in moderation ... and still remain about twenty inches from the mic.)
Well, me anyway, just for the return of my voice, I do not regret my purchase ... but it's not all ...

Taking guitar is very detailed ... advantage over the sound (filter not set) ... drawback: you have to play the guitar because the slightest defect means ... but that's a plus for this price range ... I rediscovered the sound of my old folk ...
After three weeks ... The arpeggio is nickel ... the mic picks up well without taking anything that passes by ...
For agreements ... it is a little trickier ... the microphone picks up very well ... So if you play too close, it saturates quickly ...
What is difficult is to take zero defects ... if you play too loosely, it means ... if you play too dry ... you can hear it too ...

So basically, if you have a moderate budget and you want to have guarantees, micro may interest you ... bordering the 220 euros, made by a company that has been four decades ... Undeniable quality manufacturing, suspension, sensitivity ... you can not miss such a purchase ... unless it is the hardcore metal trash ... where there ... perhaps not ideal.
This ... voilou ...
Enjoy ...
