With three switchable polar patterns, the large-diaphragm
Audio-Technica AT4050 exhibits a remarkable combination of
qualities: high-SPL capability with transparent and airy
uppers/mids complemented by rich low-end qualities.
Now an established favourite with recording and broadcast
engineers, its dual large diaphragms are gold-vaporized and aged
for consistent, outstanding performance. A precision-machined,
nickel-plated brass acoustic element baffle provides rock-solid
element stability and exceptional sensitivity.
Ideal for studio use and live sound productions with vocals,
piano, strings, drum overheads, guitar amps, and more.
Features:
- Transparent uppers/mids balanced by rich low-end qualities
combine with advanced acoustic engineering for extensive
performance capabilities and highest quality
- Dual- diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern
definition across the full frequency range of the microphone
- The 2-micron-thick, vapor-deposited gold diaphragms undergo a
five-step aging process so that the optimum characteristics
achieved remain constant over years of use
- Three switchable polar patterns: omni, cardioid, figure-of-
eight
- Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency
distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed
transients
- State-of-the-art surface-mount electronics ensure compliance
with A-T's stringent consistency and reliability standards
- Switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad
- Includes AT8449 shock mount
