Repackaged ATR1300

| Review By: Weat Mattis | 8 months, 3 weeks ago

8 people out of 8 found this review helpful

Features:

Run of the mill cardioid (unidirectional) dynamic with on/off switch.

Quality:

All metal construction similar to the Shure SM58.  Don't abuse it and it should last quite awhile.

Value:

Substantially cheaper than the SM58, but does not have the output level of the Shure mic.  A bit more mid-range as well.  This is likely due to the higher impendance.

Overall:

I went looking on the Audio-Technica site  for this microphone and couldn't find it.  A little research turned up the ATR1300.  The M4000S is the same microphone repackage with an XLR to XLR cable.  You are essentially paying for an upgraded cable.

 

The sensitivity of this mic is about 6 db below that of most similar models, so you will need to crank the gain a little.  This is only a problem if you have less than pristine preamps or if the electrical environment is particularly dirty.

 

The mellow high end makes this an excellent mic for female vocals, especially for those with a bit of power.  This also makes it a good mic for "bright" instruments like a banjo or fiddle.  It's not that good at pulling detail out of most acoustic guitars, especially a 12 string that carries a lot of harmonics.  For those you need a decent medium to large diaphram condenser mic (I like the MXL 990)

AT M-4000S

Overall:
Just got the M-4000S free with my Musician's Friend order last week and I was very much surprised by the outstanding quality of sound produced by this inexpensive mic.  Granted I haven't been using top of the line mics to begin with but this little baby sounds so much better than the V-Tech mics I have been using up to this point and I think it sounds even better than my friend's Shure SM58. I run it through a Digitech Vocalist Live-4 and it sounds so good with a little eq and reverb and I've noticed the harmonies produced by the pedal sound much more distinct and clear with this mic. I can't say how durable it is but if it survives the next few gigs I will probably order a few more to keep around as backups and loaners. I'm sure there are better mics out there but this mic fits my needs as well or better than mics costing two to three times as much. In my opinion you really can't beat it for the price.

For the price it's only OK

Overall:
Given the price and the branding, I would expect better performance specs out of this mic.  It's only so-so for vocals and lacks the frequency response to be a good instrument mic. These are OK for starter mics if one is on a very tight budget, but I'd sooner pay more for a mic with better specs than use these.
