Audio Technica AT4050ST
UPC/EAN #4961310137779
MPN #AT4050ST
The Audio Technica AT4050ST is a stereo side-address condenser with cardioid and figure-of-eight elements configured in a Mid-Side arrangement.
This innovative stereo condenser allows sound recordists the choice of selecting a left-right stereo output or choosing discrete Mid-Side signals for later manipulation, a remarkable flexibility. The microphone's dual-diaphragm capsules maintain precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range. Its transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion.
