Universal Microphone Audio-Technica AT4050

The Audio-Technica AT4050 is a large-diaphragm professional studio condenser microphone that combines transparent high and midrange frequencies with deep, rich low-frequency response. With three switchable polar patterns - omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-of-eight - it provides the versatility you need to record vocals, instruments, and live performances.

At the heart of the AT4050 is a dual diaphragm coated with a thin layer of gold and aged in a five-step process to maintain consistent performance for years to come. The microphone's transformerless design eliminates low-frequency distortion and ensures accurate reproduction of sound nuances. Thanks to its wide dynamic range and low self-noise, the microphone works perfectly with vocals, piano, strings, percussion instruments, and guitar amplifiers, capturing every nuance of sound.

The microphone body is made of precision-machined nickel-plated brass for durability and high sensitivity. The built-in 80 Hz low-pass filter helps reduce unwanted noise, and the 10 dB attenuator allows the microphone to be used in situations with high sound pressure levels. The AT8449a comes with a special shock-absorbing mount that provides effective vibration isolation.
