The AT2050 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone from Audio-Technica is designed for use in home studios, project recording, and live sound reinforcement applications. It can be used for capturing vocals, general instruments, and speaker cabinets. The side-address condenser microphone features user switchable cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 polar patterns for versatile operation. The element and output stage combine to produce a smooth yet natural audio quality with low noise. An 80 Hz high-pass filter switch minimizes low-frequency hum and other associated noise and a -10 dB pad switch provides more headroom when capturing transient signals that may otherwise cause peak distortion. Ideal for Home, Studio, or Stage Use Designed for critical home/project studio applications and live performance, this side-address multipattern condenser mic delivers detailed sonics and low noise, even after years of use. With its smooth, natural sound, the AT2050 is ideal for musicians, producers, and recording engineers, whether it is used on vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, or speaker cabinets. Three Polar Patterns Outfitted with dual gold-vaporized large diaphragms, the AT2050 is a true externally polarized (DC bias) condenser microphone with three switchable polar patterns—omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8. The omnidirectional polar pattern is sensitive to sound coming from all directions. Select the omni pattern to pick up several voices or instruments on the same microphone, to diminish proximity effect, and to preserve the location’s ambient sound. The cardioid polar pattern is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful in controlling feedback, reducing pickup of unwanted sounds and providing isolation between performers. The figure-8 polar pattern is more sensitive to sound originating in the front and back of the microphone, rejecting sounds from the sides. It is often used in conjunction with advanced stereo miking techniques. Selectable Settings Equipped with a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and -10 dB pad, the AT2050 easily handles high sound pressure levels (up to 159 dB) and avoids the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation, and mechanically coupled vibrations. Ready for Daily Use Along with its rugged construction and high-performance specifications, the AT2050 provides reliable consistency from model to model. It comes with a protective pouch and a custom shockmount.
