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 ...
