I guess this supersedes some earlier model, usually with a higher price tag to boot?!
Post also mentions AT2022 which was released earlier this year.

Audio-Technica AT2031 Condenser Intrument Microphone

— The ideal microphone for stringed instruments (from violin and guitar to harp and piano) in critical recording and live situations, the AT2031 offers extended frequency response with a slight rise in the high frequency range for beautifully detailed sound. Low self-noise and high SPL handling also contribute to the AT2031's wide dynamic range.

A switchable 150Hz 6db/octave high-pass filter enables the new microphone to be tailored to a wide variety of instruments, while its cardioid polar pattern improves isolation of the sound source from its environment.
