Audio Technica AT2020 vs AT2035

The Audio Technica AT2020 is a great budget microphone and is selling at a very good price in the UK. Just a little higher in noise levels than I would like but an excellent starter mic at an excellent price.

The AT2035 is more top focused in sound and lower in self noise. For the extra money, not only do you get better performance, but also a -10dB pad and a high pass filter.

Put the Rode mics into the mic and things get more complex. The Rode NT1a sits right in between these two in price and the self noise is so low that it's basically a legend!!

For the sound on this video, I fed all audio into a Tascam DR60e which fed directly into my Sony AX53 camera. Gain on the camera was right at the bottom. So no audible noise coming from there.

In this video, I used the NT1 to do the commentary at the start and then switched to the AT2020 followed by the AT2035.

All of these mics are great options as well as the Rode NT1a. I still feel that the NT1a is the best budget studio mic around and the AT2035 is a close call with the Rode NT1. My preference is the NT1 but the AT2035 does have a nice clean sounding top end and I'd honestly be happy with either.
