One of the best vocal mics in this price range
Published on 01/22/13 at 22:44The AT4050 is a large diaphragm condenser that gives you the ability to change your polar patterns on the fly. So no matter where we were recording at we could easily adjust the polar patterns to give us the best possible quality. I have uses just about every single Audio Technica microphone that has come out over the last 10 years and this one was one of the more impressive ones to me. I was very worried at first when I saw the price tag because I thought they were just jacking up the prices but still keeping the same quality microphones.

OVERALL OPINION
You can use this microphone for instruments but I think it should stay on vocals. If you want to get the best out of it, you will need to use it on vocals. It will sound great with male and female vocals of all vocal ranges. To me this is one of the best reasonably price vocal microphones that is on the market. We have recorded with this microphone over 40 times and several different artist and bands. We have not received a complaint yet. I actually wanted to see how this microphone would sound live but I just haven’t had the time to do it yet.
You can switch from figure 8, cardioid, or omnidirectional polar patterns right on the microphone. It comes with a shock mount and it is very durable, I do not think there is any need to worry about dropping it because it is made out of durable metals and the grill is very solid too.
The highs are clean and very transparent, the lows are rich and full just like I like them. I have been using this microphone personally since 2009 and in about 2011 I started recording other musicians with it. It has sounded great with all vocals. I am still kind of anxious to try it live and really try it out on some instruments.

the size of the capsule, the output impedance microphone give this a slightly different color of all modern large diaphragm (more or less close to the U87Ai), it is interesting in this respect, when it does not work diaphragm with a large static, it is often here that it works with AT4050, very effective sources or the holding of the medium must be real (in pizz bass, drums classic, viola, harp, toms, recovery Amp guitar, rhodes and wurlitzer etc ...)

This is a super micro, but I am a neophyte. I still spend much time in front of my plays and I begin to hear when it sounds. I think with my requirements (I can not afford to work with the preamp to 2000 euros for each microphone) microphone that is very competitive.
Given the price I paid (almost half of the nine) the report is very good. If I had to pay the price in stores in France I would say a report normal.J 'buy back a well at the same price.See less41LPA94

It is not as versatile microphone as you might think: his lack of color makes it sometimes default. For example, before a guitar amp it is sorely lacking in personality. However if you want to capture a voice without artifice, I heartily recommend.
Its three polarity and its low cut (80Hz) and attnuateur: trs practices!
However attention to the change of polarity: Make sure you lower the gain and cut his prampli 48V. Indeed, any change to the volegnre tensions abroad (trs frquences powerful bass). Or is my microphone dfectueux? ? ?
I command the US Obviously, it's so beneficial. So, good value qualitprix trs. It is a micro possder in its fleet.
For a budget a little tight so I would do without this choice hsiter! It is a micro trs pro who has a more somber look trs class (ok, it is not but it was for the little more).
EDIT 25/03/2009: In fact, the neutrality of the microphone me drang in the first months of use. Indeed, it is often trs ncessaire to color it with a micro EQ prpar carefully: do not much but it is essential (I think such a small bump in the mediums of 2 or 3 dB that quite often I add). Once one has understood, we get about the results of this micro really excellent for the price!
EDIT 03/07/2009: Other expriences enrich my opinion on the microphone: trs good for percussion as well as sound effects (probably its neutrality). A little deaf, but it is true we can dboucher with a quality EQ. Systmatiquement I use my light amplification gain Station to make it shine a little more and give the characters. The voice has a ct old school which can be nice, however, we find much better for the same price (maybe be a AKG C214?).See less31domos

I use it for 6 years dj. I haven 't ever convinced by the microphone. I find it dull.

Indeed, the C3 suprieur well for me, transparent, finesse, put in default the audio technica. On a snare drum, it has no picture, on the votes, it has still not picture!

Then use 4 years on the catch of votes (hip hop song). Micro trs rgulirement versatile compared to 414 in this area.
C'tait one of my first microphone.
What I like about this mic is its transparency and its small bump in the medium, can make warm voice, despite a lack of precision lightweight.
Today I made my decision to vote with a Neumann, but it is not uncommon for me out my 4050 for vocals.
Good qualitprix. It's not the case but the shekel is worth money.
Yes I would do this choice, if I had no more budget lev.43Ad

OVERALL OPINION
I love this mic I own for 4 years, I do not use it all the time, but it does very well on a lot of sources, including small drums that often come with a little hard enough static out with this silky micro. I use it often omni (OH mono, 1.5 m amp guitar, voice ...), with a little distance where he is doing the best for me. More conventionally used on a voice cardio when others do not work, in addition to eight other micro.
