So the AT2020 is not a large diaprhagm, right? and that makes what sort of difference? You use the AT2020 at the office and the AT2035 at the studio?

Actually they are pretty much the same mic although I only have the USB version of the 2020 and a pair of the 2035s for overheads on the drumset or room mics for things like the webcasts. Both are large diaphragm mics. If I had more money i'd probably have a pair of the 4000 series mics though

Oh, ok. The 2035 is about 30 more sheckles, so I wondered if it would be worth stepping it up. I am not going to pop for the 4000 series either, though if the 2035 is a bit better, 30 more might be ok as long as I was getting one. I would be getting the standard cabled version of whatever i get.

I am looking to get a mic sometime soon and like the AT2020 and 35. If I remember correctly, the 35 is large diaphragm and the 2020 is medium. A have heard a lot of good things about the 2020 and it is a very popular mic. I have heard from some, including Prages that it is a little bright for vocals but should be fine on acoustic.

I am really liking the Studio Projects B1. Similar price and gets a lot of good reviews. I think I read some positive stuff at that tweakheads recording site too. Worth a look. It is considered an all around mic.

I dont have any experience with any of them so take that for what it is worth.

Actually was also just looking at the CAD large condenser in that price range and it is very interesting as well. It has 3 patterns and comes with a shock mount for $117.

Actually, the main difference is this:

Switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad

and there is a slight difference in signal to noise ratio.
