{"product_id":"audio-technica-at2050-69651","title":"AT2050","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Multipattern at the Heart of Audio-Technica's Studio Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AT2050 is aimed at those seeking a condenser microphone capable of covering a wide range of situations without multiplying references in the studio. Its concept is based on a dual-diaphragm capsule and selectable polar patterns, allowing you to switch from a tight vocal capture to a more open room capture, or to advanced stereo and rejection techniques. This approach makes it a logical choice for an evolving home studio as well as for a production-oriented mic locker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Benefits from the AT2050 and in What Uses Does It Make a Difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you record \u003cstrong\u003evocals\u003c\/strong\u003e (singing, voice-over, podcast), the AT2050 lets you choose a polar pattern suited to the context: cardioid to limit room sound, omni for a more natural rendering, or figure-eight to exploit side rejection. On \u003cstrong\u003epiano\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003estrings\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003epercussion\u003c\/strong\u003e, its extended response and ability to handle high SPL facilitate detailed capture, including in suspended mounting. In \u003cstrong\u003elive sound\u003c\/strong\u003e and on \u003cstrong\u003eguitar amps\u003c\/strong\u003e, the -10 dB pad helps maintain comfortable headroom at the preamp while preserving a clean signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features: Controlling Source, Room, and Dynamics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThree Polar Patterns to Shape the Sound Capture\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe polar pattern selector truly changes how you position the microphone. In cardioid, you focus on the source and reduce ambient sound. In omnidirectional, you capture more naturalness and low-end, useful for acoustic instruments in a good room. In figure-eight, you benefit from strong side rejection, ideal for recording two sources facing each other or limiting unwanted side reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e80 Hz High-Pass Filter: Cleaner Low-End\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 80 Hz high-pass filter is a simple and effective ally to reduce vibrations, handling noise, air conditioning hum, or excess bass related to the proximity effect. The result is a signal that's easier to mix and often requires fewer EQ corrections, especially on vocals and close-miked sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e-10 dB Pad: More Headroom on Loud Sources\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe -10 dB pad secures high-level recordings (percussion, overheads, guitar amps, close brass) and protects the recording chain from clipping. It's also an excellent option if your preamp or audio interface tends to gain quickly or if you want to preserve more headroom during dynamic sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
