I sub recently to your channel.., I saw this video now, I know is old, maybe too old, and maybe you will not see this comment.., But just in case, I'll still ask... Could you take a look to the AT 4047 SV? Have heard good things, but where I live I don't have access to test it, and no one have made a video lf it sk we can get an idea of how does it sound before buying online for then not like it.
The AT2035 is very impressive especially for the price. That said, I went with the 4033 - I definitely think it sounds the best of the bunch. Thanks for this comparison vid!
Edward, when you explain about music gear , I can feel your confident and excitement . I think you can be a success music review RUclipsr. God bless this guy !!!!!!!
Nice review. I currently use an AT2020. I heard a bit jump in quality between the AT2020 and the AT2035, but less marked between the 2035, and the AT4040, and the AT4033. For VO, I think I'll upgrade to the AT2035.
This is the first time I really could hear their differences, thanks! I was inclined to buy the at2020 because it's good and relatively cheap, but now I can tell that my voice would sound very thin on it. Any one of the others would be better, but I'm inclined to save more money and go with the at4040. EDIT: Nah, just bought an AT2035. Can't wait to put my hands on it
The at4033 are much in frunt, the high are so warm if we compare to the 2020. Every frequency sounds great on it. I saw some comment tell the difference are very subtle between each. But its not. Use great monitoring headphone and you will notice a big difference. Btw thanks for the review. Very well done. Just curious to listen each mic dry
I have a pretty good ear for mixing and vocals and stuff and even on an iPhone speaker you can hear a big difference, ngl the 4033 sounds fire he best, even better than the 4040. Warner, more nuanced. And the thing is, those little details add up to A LOT because they add nuance to the dubs, ad live, vocal effects…
@@galigiriI definitely agree. The AT 4033A is a very good microphone for vocals. Would be nice to still have it but needed to sell it a few months ago.
This is great! The only thing that could be added is more vocal ranges for the singing test. But I wonder about the AT2020, it sounds much more distant than the others? Any chance it doesn't do well with the pre-amp or interface? Yet the AT2035 sounds the most intimate somehow.
I liked the AT4033 the most on your voice. To me that one sounds the most balanced. Nice warmth, subtle lower-mid boost and transparent highs, but not silky like the other 3. I use a pair of AT4040 as overhead mics, which give me a nice and open sound. The cymbals cut nice through the mix, but because of the large diaphragm, the kit as a whole comes through as well. Audio Technica sure makes great audio gear.
Self noise, diaphragm size, and shock mount are big differences between the AT2020 and AT2035. 20 db SPL on the 2020 is a much higher noise level compared to just 12 db SPL on the 2035 which mics that cost hundreds of dollars more seem to aim for or lower. Julian Krause for examples recommends to go for 15 or lower noise. The diaphragm is about 50% larger on the 2035 which lets you capture more detail and nuance in recordings. Haven't tested this out yet as my 2035 is on it's way but my previous mic was a 50th Anniversary Edition AT4033A and I also had an SM58 dynamic mic. The difference between the 4033A and SM58 was big in capturing the character in my voice. The 4033A won every time so it was best used for main vocals. The SM58 was great for background vocals though. The shock mount is important because it's $30 if you buy it separately (there's also a custom Audio-Technica metal pop filter that goes with it but it seems to only be sold in Asia which is unfortunate because it's such a nice filter with the logo on the front of it. $30 shipping for a $50 filter is a bit much though). Having a shock mount helps even more with extra noise you might get from vibrations in the floor, from the mic stand, and/or vibrations caused by a train or truck passing by (know from experience).
The AT2020 and AT2035 have a smaller diaphragm capsule. It's approximately 22mm, as opposed to the 34mm in the AT4040 and AT4033. I find that my AT2035 tends to be better suited to raucous rock vocals than microphones (I've tried a few) having the larger capsule.
That's wrong. AT2035 has 24.3mm, AT2020 has 16mm, AT4040 has 20.4mm, AT4033 has 11.5mm (as diaphragm diameters) Also, you can hear that the diaphragm diameters don't mean much, once the signal is normalized.
@@CrankCase08Then why did you leave your incorrect comment up? The AT2035's diaphragm is 50% larger than the AT2020. You misled nearly 30 people by not edting or deleting your comment.
I have own the at2020 for like 15 years mainly to recored acoustic guitar and in my opinion it is very clear sounding with a flat bass response wihch is good because you dont get that super boomy sound when recording a dread guitar but the highs are not very good. The transiants is kinda harsh and not very natural sounding. For vocals, it does the job.
Hey Edward, I just want to say, the quality of your videos have improved so much since the first vid I saw from you. Keep it up man loving the content! 🙌🏽
Great comparison and I love your rendition of Angus Stone’s classic - Big Jet Plane is a personal favourite of mine. The AT2020 is fantastic bang for buck compared to anything at that price - it is soooo good that many silly people compare it to the expensive higher spec Rode NT1. I’ve also heard a lot of people comparing the AT2035 to the Rode NT1 and saying the NT1 is better. Reality check: the Rode NT1 is _not quieter_ than the Audiotechnica AT2035. The way in which Audiotechnica measures their mic’s self noise is different from how Rode measures theirs - that’s why the numbers are different in manufacturer specs although the actual self noise for both these mics is similar. Rode’s 4.5dBA is Equivalent Noise Level (A-Weighted) - which means that Rode has ‘adjusted’ the self noise number to represent the noise level as perceived by human ears - that’s what the ‘A’ means …dBA is different from dB by 4-5, depending on SPL and other factors. Audiotechnica’s 12dB SPL is measured at the higher input level the AT2035 is capable of and is not ‘weighted’ for perception by the human ear - if it had been it would be around the same dBA at the Rode’s maximum input level of 132 dB. Remember, the AT2035’s max input is about 15dB higher than that of the NT1 at 148 dB. The Audiotechnica AT2035 is superior to the Rode NT1, and besides the Rode NT series should be compared to the AT4040 anyway. Personal preferences are a different matter, but also remember that anything made in Australia is more expensive …even a cup of instant coffee 😂
honestly i think the 50 dollar gap between the 2020 and the 2035 is a really big bang for your buck. The 2020 is good but it didn't sound as full compared to the others while the 2035 did and for that i think that the extra fifty is well worth it
Not to forget 2035 comes with shockmount. With shockmount 2020 can be more expensive. Atleast it was from thomann when bought mine years ago, so I went with 2035
I would say that the 4033 sounded the best, and then it goes down just like the price, 2nd 4040, 3rd 2035, 4th 2020. I wanted to go for the 2035 but now I'm thinking of saving money for the 4033. EDIT: I am only using Logitech G933 headset, and my ears aren't that good when it comes to positioning or depth or clarity when it comes to noices, especially not with the G933, but even if I used the Dt 770 pro I would still not hear that much more clarity or depth.
Omg not gonna lie the difference between most of the mics here are pretty subtle... but my favorite one here must be the at 4040 as it sounded smoothest in my ears. But honestly any of the microphone u get is good but for the at 2020 self noise just get the Denoiser pluggin and it will reduce bg noise. Nice video!
just bought the AT4040. My Warm WA-47jr died on me yesterday so I am trying something different. I have an AT2020 and it's not bad. I hope I can tell a noticeable difference between it and the AT4040. I will primarily be using it to record female vocals and some acoustic guitar.
i have a question i want to buy an audio interface and i confused between behringer 404hd and scarlet 2i2 can you please help me out ? i know this question has nothing to do with this video
long time at2020usb and at2020 condenser user here. used on rap vocals primarily switched up to the akg c214 and for years have struggled with EQuing the overly high mid hzs im in wired airpods (one of the most important sound tests advised to me by to by maserati himself..) and the 2035 sounds the best to me. i was advised to get the 4033a but it lacks the warmth the 2035 has thinking of going back to my favorite microphone company
Dope singing dope test. 💯 I’m wearing the ATH m50x headphones I like the 2035 sound best the 2020 sounds really really good too it’s a different tone less bright On the 4033 the vocals more present more in your face They all sound good great test !
AT's are fantastic. I do hear a little bit more enjoyable color from the 2033 that makes it a bit better, but not sure if that's worth the price jump. The case included, though, I think its worth it.
great review.I appreciate your execution of the audio clip comparison portion with specific regard to source quality and editing. The edits were just long enough to get a feel for each mic but quick enough to establish contrast between all 4, good sounding vocal too.cheers. so without considering price or any factors other than sound, which mic was you favorite?
I have a Blue Spark SL that I use for Rap, and for $199, I wasn't too happy with how it sounded on my voice..... so I'm back at Square 1.. I'm diggin' the AT2035 and the AT4040
At 2035 or the 4033 would be the better choice to pick for the performance and price. At2020 is okay and budget friendly but would recomend the at2035 as that $50 increase makes it worth it. The at4033 would be a better premium price over the 4040 and that $100 may not be worth it as the 4033 is warmer tones and voice.
What a nice review! I’ve been watching to your microphone video reviews and its helpful for me to know what these microphone sounds like. Anyways, i am actually planning to buy the neumann tlm 102 but since i am not a professional singer and i just do it for fun ill just go with the at microphones. I am planning to get the at4040 or the at4033 What do you think will be the best for vocals and i do have a alto/low range voice? I will be using it together with the focusrite solo. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching!! My pick out of these is definitely the AT4040. I even use it on my original songs (keeping in mind, I have more expensive mics to pic from HAHA).
Lol thats not even a fair comparison.. u would have to compare the p420 to the at4040 which is in the same price range. The 2035 is significantly less expensive
I may sound biased towards the 4040 and 4033 if i should choose them outright...since they're the more expensive ones.. but they are much more well rounded in their tonal quality....that being said..i purchased the 441 flex over these....i'm sorry... haha
Hello Edward!! At 3:49, is it actually fine to put the microphone in that foam? Or instead put the microphone inside of the given plastic & put it in that foam? I have the AT2020, & I'm worried that maybe something will happen to my mic when I put it directly to the foam.
I cannot hear a fraction of difference between these, even when jumping from the 2020 to the later 4033. I'll keep my precious 2020, I think. What a bang for its buck.
You should inform your audience if this is a compensated review.. You seemed to have the vocal level gains turned up on the 4040 and 4033..yes there is likely more dynamic range but even your floor level was higher not really making a quite fair comparison. You Missed a chance to compare/comment how they do against your Rode NT1 or your other favorite, the AKG 414 that many also know, and you didn't seem to cover your impressions of that 4040 vs 4033 you said you been wanting to do.
I have been recording in studio for 3 years now and i am building my home studio this year. I am thinking of getting At4040 or Aston Spirit. I will mostly just record rap vocals or singing vocals no instruments. What you recommend?
@@alfonsbarcelon is rode really that sensitive, would the 4040 be better? cuz I have 2020 now and even tho it's not that bad I want to improve my recording quality. Sitting now for hours to find the best suitable microphone for me.... shure, rode, neumann, audio technica etc., have already looked up them all and hanging on at4040 now, not 100% sure if that would be the best choice. Atm not seeing any reason to upgrade my at2020 to 2035, if then I would go for 4040 or rode nt1
@@edythereal yes! I ended up having a 2 defective rode nt1 ss mics after a week. They just dont pickup a sound after a week. With my first use, its not just sensitive but the off axis collaration rejection isnt that good as well. I would rather go with audio technica.
Thank you so much for this video. I ❤️ my AT 2020 for acoustic instruments (guitar, percussion) and voice recording, It’s the best choice in its pricerange.
man, sheesh, it’s such a hard pick with the AT 4040 and 4033… the 4040 sounds amazing in those sound tests…. now the 4050?? omggg sounds next level for sure, I really just wanna get that instead
@@EdwardSmithMusic , the translator messed it up, sorry. I am only interested in the question of which microphone will be the best in the mix, which one would you choose for recording. NT 1A, TLM 103, LCT 440 540, akg p420 or mic 2020 2035 4033 from audio technica

Sing proper full voice to make the mic demos clear. Ur singing delivery was simply high without showing the lower frequencies

The AT2050 is a great microphone 🙌🏻
Is it better than AT2035? Or did i made the wrong decision?
@@FlexaJ No, 2035 is much better
I have the 2035 and it's fantastic. Using it for Vocals and acoustic guitar
Easy to understand and Nicely presented,sold to the highest bidder 👍☺️
Thanks a lot 😊
I have a Blue Spark SL that I use for Rap, and for $199, I wasn't too happy with how it sounded on my voice..... so I'm back at Square 1.. I'm diggin' the AT2035 and the AT4040
At 2035 or the 4033 would be the better choice to pick for the performance and price.
At2020 is okay and budget friendly but would recomend the at2035 as that $50 increase makes it worth it. The at4033 would be a better premium price over the 4040 and that $100 may not be worth it as the 4033 is warmer tones and voice.
What a nice review! I’ve been watching to your microphone video reviews and its helpful for me to know what these microphone sounds like. Anyways, i am actually planning to buy the neumann tlm 102 but since i am not a professional singer and i just do it for fun ill just go with the at microphones. I am planning to get the at4040 or the at4033 What do you think will be the best for vocals and i do have a alto/low range voice? I will be using it together with the focusrite solo. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching!! My pick out of these is definitely the AT4040. I even use it on my original songs (keeping in mind, I have more expensive mics to pic from HAHA).
Please suggest me between AT 2035 and AKG P420 for singing/vocal. Please....💐💐💐💐💐
I would go for the AKG P420 👌🏻
Lol thats not even a fair comparison.. u would have to compare the p420 to the at4040 which is in the same price range. The 2035 is significantly less expensive
I may sound biased towards the 4040 and 4033 if i should choose them outright...since they're the more expensive ones.. but they are much more well rounded in their tonal quality....that being said..i purchased the 441 flex over these....i'm sorry... haha
GOOD VOCAL BROO🎧
Thanks!
Ive got the AT2020 and have been using it for years on vocals and guitar electric and acoustic is the AT4040 better do you reckon ?
By the way was the audio of the singing test edited or was it raw?
Hello Edward!! At 3:49, is it actually fine to put the microphone in that foam? Or instead put the microphone inside of the given plastic & put it in that foam?
I have the AT2020, & I'm worried that maybe something will happen to my mic when I put it directly to the foam.
Foam will be fine.
I cannot hear a fraction of difference between these, even when jumping from the 2020 to the later 4033. I'll keep my precious 2020, I think. What a bang for its buck.
You should inform your audience if this is a compensated review.. You seemed to have the vocal level gains turned up on the 4040 and 4033..yes there is likely more dynamic range but even your floor level was higher not really making a quite fair comparison. You Missed a chance to compare/comment how they do against your Rode NT1 or your other favorite, the AKG 414 that many also know, and you didn't seem to cover your impressions of that 4040 vs 4033 you said you been wanting to do.
What is that song? I like it!
I liked the Audio-Technica AT2020, because it is cheap and of very good quality. Edward Thanks for the nice video. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
What audio interface was used?
Hi Edward, Should I buy At 2035 or AKG P420?
I would go Audio Technica
thanks a lot for your examples =)
Thanks for watching!!
I have been recording in studio for 3 years now and i am building my home studio this year. I am thinking of getting At4040 or Aston Spirit. I will mostly just record rap vocals or singing vocals no instruments. What you recommend?
I love the AT4040! Really a great mic! I would go for the AT4040!
@@EdwardSmithMusic Is the AT4040 good for instruments ? guitar etc amps ?
I've owned the 4033a for years and its great on acoustic guitar
What you recommend for vocal recording?
AT4033 was very bright, but sounded CRISP. Definitely difficult to decide between my 2035 or upgrading to 4033.
whats the name of the pop filter you use on the singing tests ??
The 4040 will be the one if I'm going to upgrade my at2020
Great choice!!
Now at my regret era because i bought NT1 SS and it is very sensitive. I missed my at2035 :(( Im hoping to get the at4040 this year
@@alfonsbarcelon is rode really that sensitive, would the 4040 be better? cuz I have 2020 now and even tho it's not that bad I want to improve my recording quality. Sitting now for hours to find the best suitable microphone for me.... shure, rode, neumann, audio technica etc., have already looked up them all and hanging on at4040 now, not 100% sure if that would be the best choice. Atm not seeing any reason to upgrade my at2020 to 2035, if then I would go for 4040 or rode nt1
@@edythereal yes! I ended up having a 2 defective rode nt1 ss mics after a week. They just dont pickup a sound after a week. With my first use, its not just sensitive but the off axis collaration rejection isnt that good as well. I would rather go with audio technica.
@@alfonsbarcelon alright, thank you. So the rode is off the list for me now. Would you consider shure sm7b aswell? Or still at4040 over that?
Thank you so much for this video. I ❤️ my AT 2020 for acoustic instruments (guitar, percussion) and voice recording, It’s the best choice in its pricerange.
Glad it was helpful!
sounds wider and warmer as they go up from 2020 To 4030 the 2020 sounds thin compared to 2035
AT2020 sounds like the Superlux E205 but in fact, AT2035 sounds fuller.
How about a vedio about midi keyboards✌
Coming soon!
man, sheesh, it’s such a hard pick with the AT 4040 and 4033… the 4040 sounds amazing in those sound tests…. now the 4050?? omggg sounds next level for sure, I really just wanna get that instead
I just got my AT2020 mic today through Amazon fast delivery !!! 📦🎤
Which microphone would you choose when riding nt 1 a, at 2050, at 4033, akg p420, tlm 103?
What do you mean riding?
@@EdwardSmithMusic , the translator messed it up, sorry. I am only interested in the question of which microphone will be the best in the mix, which one would you choose for recording. NT 1A, TLM 103, LCT 440 540, akg p420 or mic 2020 2035 4033 from audio technica
Thanks for nice video. The test part might better without guitar.
Wow you are the best sir
Thank you so much for watching!!
I have the 2035 but looking to upgrade to the akg c214 you think that’s a decent upgrade?
Not really
what’s the song you’re singing at 5:18
The songs name is Jet Plane - ruclips.net/video/b8duFjE9Yfc/видео.html
akg p120 vs p220 vs p420 vs at2020 vs at2035 vs at2050??
Hoping to get my hands on a few AKG Mics this year.
@@EdwardSmithMusic which one??
The At2020 and the At4033 are the best wow
