Three Switchable Polar Patterns: Omni, Cardioid, Figure-of-Eight: The Audio-Technica AT4050 offers three versatile polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-of-eight. This flexibility allows you to adapt to various recording environments and capture sound with precision. The omnidirectional pattern picks up sound from all directions, making it ideal for capturing room ambiance. The cardioid pattern focuses on sound from the front while rejecting noise from the sides and rear, perfect for isolating vocals or instruments. The figure-of-eight pattern captures sound from the front and rear, making it suitable for applications like stereo recording or capturing duets.

Dual-Diaphragm Capsule Design: This microphone features a dual-diaphragm capsule design, ensuring precise polar pattern definition across its full frequency range. The dual diaphragms contribute to a balanced and detailed sound, enhancing clarity and accuracy. This design helps maintain consistent performance and sound quality, regardless of the selected polar pattern.

Gold-Vaporized Diaphragms: The AT4050 utilizes 2-micron-thick, gold-vaporized diaphragms. These diaphragms undergo a rigorous five-step aging process to ensure their characteristics remain stable over years of use. The gold coating improves conductivity and durability, contributing to the microphone’s exceptional performance and longevity.

Transformerless Circuitry: The microphone’s transformerless circuitry reduces low-frequency distortion and ensures superior correlation of high-speed transients. This design enhances overall sound clarity and minimizes unwanted noise, delivering a clean and accurate recording.

Precision-Machined Brass Acoustic Element Baffle: A precision-machined, nickel-plated brass acoustic element baffle enhances the microphone’s stability and sensitivity. This high-quality baffle ensures consistent performance and contributes to the microphone’s durable construction.

Switchable 80 Hz Hi-Pass Filter and 10 dB Pad: The AT4050 includes a switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter to reduce low-frequency rumble and a 10 dB pad to handle high sound pressure levels. These features provide additional control over the recording process, allowing you to tailor the microphone’s response to different recording conditions.

Custom Shock Mount: The microphone comes with a custom shock mount that provides superior isolation from vibrations and handling noise. This accessory ensures that the microphone captures clean and uncolored sound, free from unwanted mechanical noise.
