Description
The Audio-Technica AT2050 multipattern condenser microphone offers three selectable pickup patterns—omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8—making it versatile for various miking applications. Ideal for home studios and live performances, it delivers detailed sound and low noise. Features include a -10 dB pad for capturing loud sources up to 159 dB SPL without distortion and an 80 Hz high-pass filter to eliminate low-frequency noise. The AT2050 requires an XLR-equipped mic preamp with 48V phantom power and comes with a protective pouch and shockmount for reliable, high-performance use.
Versatile Pickup Patterns
The Audio-Technica AT2050 features three selectable polar patterns—omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8—allowing it to handle a wide range of voice and instrument miking applications with precision and flexibility.
High SPL Handling
With a -10 dB pad, the AT2050 can capture incredibly loud sources up to 159 dB SPL without distortion, making it suitable for high-volume environments like live performances and loud instrument recording.
Advanced Noise Control
Equipped with an 80 Hz high-pass filter, this microphone effectively eliminates low-frequency rumble and hum, ensuring a clean and clear signal without the need for additional EQ adjustments.
Durable and Reliable
Designed for consistent performance, the AT2050's dual large-diaphragm condenser capsule and rugged construction provide reliable dependability for home-based musicians, vocalists, and project studio engineers. The included shockmount reduces handling and foot noise, enhancing overall sound quality.
