Pros & Cons
Pros
The c6 has a very bright sound with a far more complex overtone structure than a steinway. It has a rich bass, a crisp top and the range feels ten times that of the 2035. It sounds great with vocals and acoustic guitars.
The at4040 is a great all around studio mic that works great in a wide variety of applications. High spl is great when recording guitar cabs and brass. The mic is great for vocals and instruments.
The at4040 comes with an excellent shock mount and a cover that fits even when the mic is in the shock mount. Adrine loves the setup and will be putting it to good use with his fabulous voice! The mic looks really well constructed.
Vocals are very clear and i don’t hear any coloring with this microphone. It's flat but warm, sounds excellent on vocals and basically everything but drums (though due to high spl and not owning drums i haven't tried) it captures a more direct grainis... Read More
The at4040 is very affordable, and now i plan to purchase a number of them. Some of the specs are naturally better than the nt1. The microphone sound is a close second to a microphone 10x the cost.

I must confess that i did not take very good care of them and over time the diaphragms were too dusty to clean without damaging them which i believe affected the sound

As you know condenser mics can be really expensive and figuring out which ones are worth it is a subjective affair

So i decided that going with another pair of audiotechnicas would be a safe and affordable strategy as long as i moved up to a better model of at

Likewise the at4040s are not overwhelmed by the extremely complex high frequency structures that result from playing jazz harmonies on a bright piano like the c6

My old at2035s were easily overwhelmed by the booming bass of my 7foot c6 and they didnt accurately capture this aspect of my playing
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
My new at4040s on the other hand pun intended are downright ravenous with bass frequencies in a closemic situation like mine
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
In closing id say that the at4040s are not overwhelmed in any frequency range that a complex and bright grand piano like mine can produce
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
One positive outcome is that i can record with a higher gain which amounts to a stronger recording free of distortion despite being louder which sounds better on a wide range of playback devices from acoustic stereos to ear buds on a smartphone
