The Audio-Technica AT2035 Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a well suited solution for home studios, project recording and live sound reinforcement alike. The side-address condenser microphone features a cardioid polar pattern for minimal feedback and off-axis noise. The element and output stage combine to produce a smooth yet natural audio quality with low noise. An 80Hz high-pass filter switch eliminates low frequency hum and any associated noise. A -10dB Pad switch is featured to provide more headroom when capturing transient signals that may otherwise cause peak distortion.
