The Audio Technica AT 3035 is a cost effective large diaphragm condenser microphone designed for general studio recording of vocals and instruments. Boasting a stated frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz with a maximum SPL rating of up to 158dB (10dB Pad engaged), the AT 3035 offers top end presence and bass response not often found in large diaphragm condenser Mic's at lower price points. A low self noise rating (12dB SPL) ensures very low residual noise resulting in quiet recordings. In addition, the AT 3035 includes a custom shock-mount and protective pouch.
