Designed for studio applications and live performance, this Audio-Technica AT2035 large-diaphragm side-address cardioid condenser mic delivers exceptional clarity and detail with very low self noise. Equipped with a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad, which are rarely found on mics at this price, the AT2035 is suitable for use in all kinds of environments. The cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, resisting unwanted noise. Also included is a custom shock mount.
