AES CONVENTION, NEW YORK, NY, October 9, 2009 — Audio-Technica,
a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 45 years, is
displaying the AT4050ST
Stereo Condenser Microphone, a stereo version of A-T’s award-winning
AT4050
and one of the new offerings from A-T’s expanding 40
Series microphones. The AT4050ST, developed in direct response
to feedback from end users, 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 AT4050ST offers sound recordists the choice
of selecting a left-right stereo output (wide 127º or narrow 90º)
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. It performs particularly well in the following
recording applications: overheads, piano, classical/string ensembles,
group vocals, acoustic/bluegrass bands and any other situations requiring
an elegant, versatile stereo condenser microphone solution.
The AT4050ST’s dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise
polar pattern definition across the full frequency range of the microphone.
Unwanted internal reflections are minimized by the symmetrical housing
assembly’s open acoustical environment. 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 achieved remain constant over years of use.
The microphone includes a 5.0 m 16.5' dual-output cable terminating
in a 5-pin XLRF-type to two standard 3-pin XLRM-type connectors. The
output of the microphone is a 5-pin XLRM-type connector. The microphone
requires 48V phantom power for operation. The microphone is equipped
with a switchable 10 dB pad and a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter.
The AT4050ST is enclosed in a rugged housing. The AT4050ST’s
state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques ensure compliance
with A-T’s stringent consistency and reliability standards;
the mic is RoHS compliant, meaning it is free from all substances
specified in the EU directive on hazardous substances. The included
AT8449 shock mount provides superior isolation and permits mounting
on any microphone stand with 5/8”-27 threads. A dust cover and
a protective carrying case are also included.
The AT4050ST Stereo Condenser Microphone will be available November
2009 with a U.S. MSRP of $1,625.00. For more information, please visit
