Sorry, never met an AT I really really liked. |

An electret is simply a condenser that has a permanent charge to the backplate, rather than using phantom to provide the polarizing voltage. Electrets do need phantom to power the head amp. Electrets or "true" condensers can have capsules of any size. Electrets used to be second class citizens in the condenser world, but at this point there are quite a few very good sounding electrets out there. I'm not sure why you would put up a 4033 against a KSM32, or a KSM27 against a 4047. The KSM27 and 4033 are both designed as vocal mics, the KSM32 is a "flat" multipurpose instrument mic (great on snare, btw) and the 4047 is its own thing entirely. I also really like the 4047 and have had dozens of happy tracks made with KSM32s. I have pairs of both and it would not occur to me to use the 32s in place of the 4047s or vice versa. -tom |

I own the 4050 Cm5 (which is now discontinued) and I don't know how the new 4050 sounds in comparison, but I would answer your question with an unqualified yes, considering which forum you posted in. |

I used my AT 4050 on a screamo singer. |

The AT 4050 is an excellent mic imo. It is considered by many to be a good workhorse/all around microphone. I'm not sure that there is a difference between the AT4050 CM5 (which I own) and the new ones. They may have dropped the CM5 part of the name but I've never seen or heard anything about AT changing or updating it. The shockmount it comes with now is different. I reserve the right to be wrong on this. |

FWIW, I just borrowed one of the new ones from a shop and compared it with my CM5. I could not get them to null on program material played out through one of my monitors... Not to say that a NOS CM5 would not null, mine was originally purchased second hand and has been heavily used (while never abused) by me for about 5 years now... Not exactly scientific testing, but I know I'm probably not going to be able to pair that mic very easily. Best, Marcel |
