Audio-Technica AT2035 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

A Versatile & Cost-Effective Mic Solution

Balancing value and strong audio performance, the Audio-Technica AT2035 condenser microphone offers a smooth and detailed sound at a price point that's accessible for home-based musicians, vocalists, and podcasters. The large-diaphragm condenser capsule incorporates a cardioid polar pattern for minimal feedback and off-axis noise, a welcome trait when tracking in untreated rooms. Plus, the supplied custom shockmount helps keep extraneous handling and foot noise down.

Engage the -10 dB pad to increase headroom and capture incredibly loud sources up to 158 dB SPL without distortion. When low-frequency rumble/hum or overwhelming bass invade your signal, turn on the 80 Hz high-pass filter switch to attenuate the lows without resorting to EQ. Since the AT2035 is a solid-state condenser with an XLR output, it should be mated to an XLR-equipped mic preamp capable of sending 48V phantom power, or anything between 11 to 52 VDC.

AT2035 Samples from Audio Test Kitchen

This provides you with the ability to listen to a growing selection of microphones with spoken word recordings captured in a standardized environment, with levels matched by the talented engineers at Audio Test Kitchen in its impressive reference studio.

Audio Test Kitchen records microphones under identical conditions so you can compare them, apples-to-apples. The source, signal chain, and level never change. The only differences you will hear are between the microphones.

At Home or Onstage

Designed for critical home/project studio applications and live performance, this side-address cardioid condenser delivers detailed sonics and low noise. With its smooth, natural sound, the AT2035 is ideal for musicians, streamers, podcasters, and other content creators.

Selectable Settings

Equipped with a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and -10 dB pad, the AT2035 easily handles high sound pressure levels (up to 158 dB) and avoids the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation, and mechanically coupled vibrations.

Ready for Daily Use

Along with its rugged construction and high-performance specifications, the AT2035 provides reliable consistency from model to model. It comes with a protective pouch and a custom shockmount.
