Hi all,
I thought it would be a good time to invest in a decent all-round condenser
microphone. Since the Neumann stuff is out of my price range currently, I've
leaned towards the Audio Technica 40xx -series. From what I've heard, many
people seem to be happy with them..!
Basically I'm considering something like the AT-4033, 4040 or 4050. Which
one do you recommend I should try first? The 4040 is very attractively
priced, so the first thing that springs to my mind is: what kind of
differences are there between the 4040 and 4050?
Anyone compared the 4033 to those two? On the AT website there's not much
information about these mics' application purposes, and since I'm looking
for an all-rounder (well, vocals and acoustic guitar are maybe somewhat
prioritized), this makes it difficult to decide.
Thanks, as always.
The 4050 will give you the most flexibility due to its three patterns. I have
reviews of it and others on my site. Help yourself.
Regards,
Ty Ford
