Audio-Technica 4033 for Microphone Monday

As a fan of the 4000 series of microphones, with their 2 micron thick (!) capsules, I gotta mention the AT-4033. This mic was very popular in the 1990s for delivering a sound comparable to a Neumann or AKG large diaphragm condenser for under $1,000. These days you can get one for under $500. I don’t like it on everything, but it’s great to have a lot of different “colors” of microphones for options when recording, and this one has an aggressive sound that’s difficult to ignore.
