Probably already seen it. The 4047 is probably the coolest sounding AT mic. Unless I'm missing something. The 4033 is boring, but that can be good a lot of things. I'd go for that 4047 though.

out of the LD condensors i have or have used regularly that fall under the $400 mark (used) this including AT, Rhode, Oktava, CAD, studio projects, PPA....the AT 4047 is #1. I love that mic. I want a second, since it always sits in the kick tunnel when tracking a full band and used a lot on overdubs. Also great for single mic drum recording.. place it about chest high looking down at the kit about 3 feet away.. heck, i'll try the thing on everything.
