The Audio‑Technica AT2050 is a highly versatile, professional‑grade large‑diaphragm condenser microphone built to deliver smooth, natural sound for studio recording, vocals, instruments, and multi‑source sessions. Its dual‑diaphragm capsule design offers three switchable polar patterns — cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure‑of‑eight — allowing you to tailor pickup to your recording environment or project: whether solo vocals, group vocals, acoustic ensembles, or stereo instrumentation.
With a wide frequency response, low self-noise, and a switchable 80 Hz high‑pass filter plus 10 dB pad, the AT2050 gives you the flexibility to handle everything from quiet vocals to high‑SPL instruments with clarity and headroom. The rugged metal body, included shock mount, and protective pouch ensure reliability and durability — ideal for both studio sessions and live‑recording scenarios.
