Podcastage | Audio Technica AT4033a Review / Test (vs AT2020, AT4040, NT1, U87 Ai) @Podcastage | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 10 seconds ago
Today I review the Audio Technica AT4033a which is a somewhat unexciting microphone, but a nice sounding microphone. It's a more midforward sounding mic compared to other AT mics I've used and has a less dominant top end but it does suffer from sibilance and have a self noise of 17dBa.
