A high cost performance model equipped with a newly developed "double wave diaphragm".
[🎙︎Product Description — Audio-Technica AT2035]
- The AT2035 is a large-diaphragm back-electret condenser microphone, delivering extremely smooth and natural sound with low noise. It is ideal for capturing clear and present vocals as well as instrument recordings.
- It features a cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern, effectively capturing sound from the front while significantly reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This makes it easy to use in environments where creating a completely quiet space is difficult, such as home studios, streaming, or narration recordings.
- Frequency response ranges from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, offering a balanced performance from low to high frequencies. It provides a rich, warm low end and clear, open high end — suitable for vocals, narration, acoustic instruments, piano, streaming audio, and more.
- Maximum input sound pressure level is 148 dB SPL, which can be increased to 158 dB SPL with the included -10 dB pad engaged. This allows for recording not only vocals but also loud instruments like drums, guitar amps, and brass, providing flexibility across various sound sources.
- Built-in 80 Hz high-pass filter (low-cut) switch. Useful for reducing plosives during close-up vocal recording and minimizing low-frequency noise from the environment (air conditioning, floor vibrations, etc.), helping to manage recording environment noise.
- The -10 dB pad switch allows you to adjust sensitivity. This ensures optimal gain for delicate vocals or high-volume instruments, making it suitable for beginners to professional users.
- Output is balanced XLR 3-pin (low-noise / low-impedance) — ideal for connecting to recording equipment and audio interfaces, supporting stable signal transmission and high-quality recording.
- Comes with a dedicated shock mount and soft pouch. Reduces vibration noise when mounted on a mic stand and is convenient for storage and transport.
