Our take on the Audio-Technica AT2035 Cardioid Condenser
The Audio-Technica AT2035 is a cardioid XLR condenser microphone with a high pass filter and pad switch, a solid first studio mic for streamers. At a tracked $144.99 it sits at the bottom of its $144.99 to $159 range since July 13, 2026, so there is no need to wait.
The switchable 80 Hz high pass filter trims desk rumble, and the 10 dB pad helps with loud voices. A custom shock mount is included. The cardioid pattern reduces sound from the sides and rear. It uses XLR, so pair it with an interface or mixer. Retailers rate it 4.7 across 3,087 ratings.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
