Audio Technica AT4050ST Stereo Condenser Microphone
Product Code: AT4050ST
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
• Custom shock mount provides superior isolation
Offering the realism of a live sound field, the AT4050ST is a side-address condenser with cardioid and figure-of-eight elements configured in a Mid-Side arrangement. This
innovative stereo condenser allows sound recordists the choice of selecting a left-right stereo output or choosing discrete Mid-Side signals for later manipulation, a remarkable flexibility. The microphone’s
dual-diaphragm capsules maintain precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range. Its transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion. |
