Description
The AT2050 gives you three distinct polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-of-eight—in one dependable large-diaphragm condenser, so a single mic can cover vocal sessions, room ambience, and Blumlein pairs without swapping hardware. Its dual gold-vaporized diaphragms are deliberately aged during manufacturing to lock in stable, refined tonal characteristics that hold up over years of heavy use, delivering a smooth, low-noise sound whether you’re tracking a lead vocal, capturing piano, close-micing strings, or setting up drum overheads and guitar cabs.
Onboard switches give you practical control at the mic: flip in the 80 Hz high-pass filter to tame proximity effect and rumble, or engage the 10 dB pad when tracking loud sources so you stay clear of distortion. Audio-Technica builds the AT2050 around surface-mount electronics designed to meet the brand’s own strict benchmarks for unit-to-unit consistency, meaning the mic you buy performs like the one in the demo video.
- Switchable cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-of-eight polar patterns
- 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad, both switchable
- Dual large diaphragms, gold-vaporized and aged for consistent tone
- Surface-mount circuitry built to Audio-Technica’s reliability standards
- Ships with AT8458 shock mount, 5/8″-27 to 3/8″-16 thread adapter, and soft protective pouch
With a frequency response of 20-20,000 Hz, 149 dB max SPL (159 dB with the pad engaged), and a 132 dB dynamic range, the AT2050 has the headroom and clarity to be a genuine workhorse across studio and live applications alike.
