Today I review the Audio Technica AT4033a which is a somewhat unexciting microphone, but a nice sounding microphone. It's a more midforward sounding mic compared to other AT mics I've used and has a less dominant top end but it does suffer from sibilance and have a self noise of 17dBa.

Today I review the Dragonpad USA mic, a budget XLR condenser mic that looks exactly like the NW800 / BM800. Surprisingly, this mic has a very different sound than the aforementioned microphones. This mic lacks a lot of low end and sounds thin.
