I prefer the AT4033. Having owned two since they were released in 1991ish. I also have vintage u67, km86i, AT4060, AT4050, Rode Classic II, Rode TF-5 pair (my new favorite instrument mic....beats Vintage KM86i), Warm U87r2, wa-251, wa-67, and WA47). My all around fav is 4033 (at least the vintage ones, when the components were more discreet). And listening here it is clear that all the 40 series just shine compared to the AT20 series. Inside the AT40 series you'll find top quality polypropylene/polystyrene and Nichicon Muse caps...which may be part of the reason for the shine.

the 4040 is an killer sleeper mic, easy to EQ and to mix. I have one and I'm glad I kept it, on some vocal it wins over my tlm103 and my telefunken ak47.

Thanks for the review.. Compensated review? Having to Assume so since you didn't compare with others brands, but you should inform us. I do think your mics (most of the time) might have sitting too high up, but occasionally it was near straight on though. I once had the AT2035, but traded it off, and kinda missed it on some songs, but I just received a new AT4040 (on sale) and believe its noticeably better than the AT2035, much twice as good as the AT2020.

AT4050 has that slight boost in the low end that i really enjoy, but $200 extra for that when the AT 4040 can just be EQ'd to sound like that too? i'm not sure what they were after when they made the 4050. it's like such a marginal difference that people are going to EQ anyway

I had the 4050…loved the tone but wanted more clarity after a while…Nuemann was too sharp vocally to me and lacked the AT tone I like…the Telefunken TF51 has that AT tone but with Nuemann type clarity without the harshness to me…sounds so great…im done mic searching!…that running thru a tube comp and tube preamp just sounds so warm…
