Audio Technica AT2050 Multi-pattern Condenser Microphone

The versatile AT2050 provides consistent, superior performance in switchable cardioid, omnidirectional and figure-of-eight polar pattern settings. Its dual large diaphragms are gold-vaporized and aged to achieve optimum characteristics over years of use. Equipped with a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad, the microphone is ideal for studio and live sound use on vocals, piano, strings, drum overheads, guitar amps, and more.

The workhorse

Audio Technica designed the AT2050 to be a workhorse. The microphone is just as comfortable on stage, night after night, as it is in the studio. Its rugged design makes it the ideal candidate for continued, relentless usage. Guaranteeing a quality performance every time. Both diaphragms are gold-vaporized and aged to provide you with continual, optimum performance.

Excellent rejection

Find the polar pattern that suits you. The AT2050 offers cardioid, fig.8, and omnidirectional polar patterns. Making the microphone useful for a wide array of applications. Selecting fig.8 will enable you to record using both sides of the capsule. This is the classic choice for recording two backing vocalists simultaneously whilst ensuring excellent rejecting from the sides. Omnidirectional ensures 360 degrees pick up, capturing every nuance in the room whilst reducing the proximity effect. Thanks to its low noise you'll be able to record the most delicate of sources without the worry of introducing mechanical noise or hiss.
