I sub recently to your channel.., I saw this video now, I know is old, maybe too old, and maybe you will not see this comment.., But just in case, I'll still ask... Could you take a look to the AT 4047 SV? Have heard good things, but where I live I don't have access to test it, and no one have made a video lf it sk we can get an idea of how does it sound before buying online for then not like it.

Self noise, diaphragm size, and shock mount are big differences between the AT2020 and AT2035. 20 db SPL on the 2020 is a much higher noise level compared to just 12 db SPL on the 2035 which mics that cost hundreds of dollars more seem to aim for or lower. Julian Krause for examples recommends to go for 15 or lower noise. The diaphragm is about 50% larger on the 2035 which lets you capture more detail and nuance in recordings. Haven't tested this out yet as my 2035 is on it's way but my previous mic was a 50th Anniversary Edition AT4033A and I also had an SM58 dynamic mic. The difference between the 4033A and SM58 was big in capturing the character in my voice. The 4033A won every time so it was best used for main vocals. The SM58 was great for background vocals though. The shock mount is important because it's $30 if you buy it separately (there's also a custom Audio-Technica metal pop filter that goes with it but it seems to only be sold in Asia which is unfortunate because it's such a nice filter with the logo on the front of it. $30 shipping for a $50 filter is a bit much though). Having a shock mount helps even more with extra noise you might get from vibrations in the floor, from the mic stand, and/or vibrations caused by a train or truck passing by (know from experience).

The AT2020 and AT2035 have a smaller diaphragm capsule. It's approximately 22mm, as opposed to the 34mm in the AT4040 and AT4033. I find that my AT2035 tends to be better suited to raucous rock vocals than microphones (I've tried a few) having the larger capsule.

Great comparison and I love your rendition of Angus Stone’s classic - Big Jet Plane is a personal favourite of mine. The AT2020 is fantastic bang for buck compared to anything at that price - it is soooo good that many silly people compare it to the expensive higher spec Rode NT1. I’ve also heard a lot of people comparing the AT2035 to the Rode NT1 and saying the NT1 is better. Reality check: the Rode NT1 is _not quieter_ than the Audiotechnica AT2035. The way in which Audiotechnica measures their mic’s self noise is different from how Rode measures theirs - that’s why the numbers are different in manufacturer specs although the actual self noise for both these mics is similar. Rode’s 4.5dBA is Equivalent Noise Level (A-Weighted) - which means that Rode has ‘adjusted’ the self noise number to represent the noise level as perceived by human ears - that’s what the ‘A’ means …dBA is different from dB by 4-5, depending on SPL and other factors. Audiotechnica’s 12dB SPL is measured at the higher input level the AT2035 is capable of and is not ‘weighted’ for perception by the human ear - if it had been it would be around the same dBA at the Rode’s maximum input level of 132 dB. Remember, the AT2035’s max input is about 15dB higher than that of the NT1 at 148 dB. The Audiotechnica AT2035 is superior to the Rode NT1, and besides the Rode NT series should be compared to the AT4040 anyway. Personal preferences are a different matter, but also remember that anything made in Australia is more expensive …even a cup of instant coffee 😂

This is great! The only thing that could be added is more vocal ranges for the singing test. But I wonder about the AT2020, it sounds much more distant than the others? Any chance it doesn't do well with the pre-amp or interface? Yet the AT2035 sounds the most intimate somehow.

I would say that the 4033 sounded the best, and then it goes down just like the price, 2nd 4040, 3rd 2035, 4th 2020. I wanted to go for the 2035 but now I'm thinking of saving money for the 4033. EDIT: I am only using Logitech G933 headset, and my ears aren't that good when it comes to positioning or depth or clarity when it comes to noices, especially not with the G933, but even if I used the Dt 770 pro I would still not hear that much more clarity or depth.
