• Audio-Technica AT4050ST PRODUCT FEATURES:

  Innovative side-address Mid-Side stereo microphone engineered for professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement

  Independent cardioid and figure-of-eight condenser elements

  Switch selection of Mid-Side mode and two internally matrixed stereo modes

  Dual-diaphragm capsules maintain precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range of the microphone

  Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed transients

  The 2-micron-thick, vapor-deposited gold diaphragms undergo a five-step aging process so that the optimum characteristics remain constant over years of use

  Open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections

  Integral 80 Hz high-pass filter switch and 10 dB pad switch

  State-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure compliance with A-T’s stringent consistency and reliability standards
