Audio-Technica AT2035
Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The AT2035 is a fixed-cardioid electret condenser with a large-diaphragm capsule and a transformer-coupled output circuit.
The capsule is a new design for this microphone (and was later incorporated into the BP4025 stereo mic). It is a back-electret design, like the AT2020, uses a 2-micron diaphragm made of PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) coated with gold. The diaphragm is center-terminated.
The mic takes an unusually high SPL before distortion — 148dB without the pad, or 158dB with the pad engaged.
The AT2035 ships with a shockmount (Audio-Technica p/n AT8458) and a soft pouch for storage.

[W]ith the pad and low-cut filter switched out, the AT2035 sounded subjectively very similar to [the AT2020] on vocals, but it was more sensitive … and also produced less background noise.
The general character of both the 2020 and 2035 was what I’d describe as “hinting at vintage,” with a warm and slightly compressed sounding mid-range and a very smooth high-end.

The mic was released in 2008.
