Stereo Condenser Microphone

AT4050ST
  • 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 M-S 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
  • Custom shock mount provides superior isolation
  • 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

    The AT4050ST is a stereo side-address externally polarized (DC bias) condenser microphone with independent cardioid and figure-of-eight elements configured in a Mid-Side arrangement with switch-selectable internal matrixing. The microphone allows sound recordists the choice of selecting a left-right stereo output (wide 127° or narrow 90°) via the
    microphone’s internal matrixing system or choosing discrete Mid-Side signals for later manipulation. It is designed to meet the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement.
