Both Mic's you mentioned are excellent choices, the Rode being perhaps the warmer more forgiving sounding of the two and the Audio technical being the more precise, with less coloration. I own a 4050 which has two capsules and thus a bit more versatility than the 4040. But unless you are going to use a figure 8 pattern, which I have all of twice, you probably don't need to spend the extra cash. I think AT make great mikes, I also have a hand held condenser they no longer make called a 4055. Mine was actually used at the 42 grammy awards, which means there is a good possibility that either Michael Bolton or Celine Dion's spit and DNA are all over this puppy...sweet.... I have found the 4055 an excellent mike for guitar amps as is the 4050. The 4050 sounds fantastic on acoustic guitars. I'll use it with a small condenser instead of the more typical two small condenser array. The 4050 really makes small body guitars sound huge.

I'm looking at getting a mid-range condenser mic, for general purpose use but definitely for female vocals, cello and (to a lesser extent) guitar amps. >From reading reviews, I'm currently considering a Audio Technica 4040 or a Rode NT1000. Any suggestions welcome! cheers, os. -- os@collective.co.uk http://www.collective.co.uk/ http://www.myspace.com/darkroomtheband
