Audio-Technica AT2050 - Multi-Pattern Condenser Studio Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT2050 is a side-address condenser microphone with three switchable polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-of-eight. Its dual large-diaphragm capsule keeps pattern definition consistent across the frequency range, making it suitable for vocals, instruments, ensembles and room sound.

A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad add flexibility, and the AT8458 shock mount is included.

Key Features:

• Switchable omni, cardioid and figure-of-eight patterns
• Dual large-diaphragm capsule for consistent pattern definition
• Handles 149 dB SPL (159 dB SPL with pad)
• Switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad
• Gold-vaporized diaphragms aged for stable long-term performance
• AT8458 shock mount included
