We had several professionals troubleshoot as well, but to no avail. Simply, if you tapped the wire at the part where it comes out of the transmitter, you would get huge blows of sound and feedback. Not reliable. In this case, we had shure's compared right up against the AT's, so if it were weather or anything like that, it would have affected both brands.

So i know it sounds gay or whatever but i do care about my relationship with you.

Alright. That's about enough. Now I'm getting mad. (Joke) The second you send me a internet hug is the second we have a problem.

Reading this thread just pisses me off....

I have not once had a problem with audio-technica, and even talked to their service reps who are extremely helpful. i know this thread is old... but the person who wrote it sounds like they havent once used any type of REAL microphone.

I own a Audio-Technica 3035. yea, its cheaper. but it gives me a better sound than almost any of my friends small studio recordings...and they use shure and other brands.

From what i have seen, shure microphones arent that amazing either, but comparing the 2, id pick audio technica hands down in more situations than not.

old thread, i know. just my 2 cents

Well, I've got an Audio Technica AT4040 and it's a really great large diaphram condensor.
I can't comment on the rest of the range.

Can I say I hate PRE*****? I know were talking about AT here but Im sure this needed to be mentioned...

Well I felt it needed to be mentioned.

I have an Audio Technica 4033 that I have been using in both studio and live settings for over 10 years. It has never caused any problems, or failed in any way. Regardless of brand, I'm gun-shy of mics that use batteries instead of phantom for their power supply. If I remember, the ATM10 was about a $100.00 mic, which doesn't make it inherently bad, but in most cases you get what you pay for. I would never have any reservations about the reliability of any 4000 series AT mics.
