Mic Reviews
Audio Technica AT-4050
The Audio Technica AT-4050 is a large diaphragm, multi-pattern mic. There are three switchable polar patterns: omni, cardioid, figure-eight. AT states that this mic provides "transparent uppers/mids balanced by rich low-end." This mic has a dual diaphragm like the 4047. Only, these diaphragms are 2-microns-thick, gold vapor-deposited, and have been through a five-step aging process that optimizes performance characteristics over time.
The electronics are state-of-the-art, surface-mount, high-speed, and transformerless.
This mic comes with one AT8449 shock mount, dust cover and case.
