AT4050 DESCRIPTION
 
Transparent Sound and Versatility for a Price That's Within Reach!
The AT4050 is one of Sweetwater's best-selling vocal mics, and for good reason! Utilizing a low-noise transformerless design and multiple polar patterns, the AT4050 is ideal for use in the most demanding recording situations. It uses dual gold-plated, aged, large-diaphragm condenser elements for extended frequency response. Floating construction elements provide isolation from noise and vibration.

Audio-Technica AT4050 Condenser Microphone at a Glance:
  • Transparent highs, rich lows and low noise
  • Multiple polar patterns for versatility
  • Precision-built diaphragm and state-of-the-art electronics for reliable performance

Transparent highs, rich lows and low noise
The AT4050 produces transparent highs and mids balanced by rich low-end qualities, while its advanced acoustic engineering guarantees extensive performance capabilities and highest quality. The AT4050's transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients.

Multiple polar patterns for versatility
Adding to the AT4050's value are the three polar patterns. You can select from cardioid, figure-8 or omnidirectional settings to tailor the AT4050 to any source you're recording. In addition, a switchable 80Ha high-pass filter and a 10dB pad allow even more flexibility in capturing a multitude of sources. This mic can stand up to high SPLs and still deliver transparent sound!

Precision-built diaphragm and state-of-the-art electronics
The AT4050's 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. State-of-the-art surface-mount electronics make the AT4050 another of A-T's incredibly consistent and reliable microphones!


Audio-Technica AT4050 Condenser Microphone Features:
  • Superior performance for studio recording and live sound applications
  • Remarkable combination of warm, transparent sound and super-high SPL capability
  • Three switchable polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, figure 8
  • Vapor-deposited gold large-diaphragm design for extended frequency response
  • Symmetrical direct-coupled electronics for excellent transient response and low distortion
  • Switchable 80Hz high-pass filter and 10dB pad
  • Includes AT8449 shock mount

For a versatile studio performer, your best bet is an AT4050!

  "I have used this mic to record everything from Yupik native drums, to harmonicas, to vocals, to grand pianos. Five CDs later I still put up my AT4050 before I try anything else. Try this with a 4040 for M/S recording for under $1000."
