Audio-Technica AT4050 - Multi-Pattern Condenser Studio Microphone

The Audio-Technica AT4050 is a large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone with three switchable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional and figure-of-eight. It is built for professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement, from vocals to instruments and room sound.

A dual-diaphragm capsule with gold diaphragms keeps pattern shapes consistent across frequencies, and transformerless circuitry provides accurate transient response. A 10 dB pad, 80 Hz high-pass filter and AT8449a shock mount are included.

Key Features:

• Switchable cardioid, omnidirectional and figure-of-eight patterns
• Dual-diaphragm capsule with gold diaphragms
• Transformerless circuitry for accurate transient response
• Handles 149 dB SPL, 159 dB SPL with the 10 dB pad
• Switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter (12 dB/octave)
• AT8449a shock mount included
• Integral 3-pin XLRM-type output; requires 48V phantom power
