Clean. The AT4050 is a clean,
detailed and more transparent sounding mic. When you want a natural, full and
linear response, it delivers nicely. The transformerless design adds to the
natural sound. Multi patterned with a pad and hi-pass filter, the AT4050 also
ships with a shock mount.
I think it’s a great pick for
location recording due to its low noise and wide frequency response and detail.
The 2 micron diaphragm is very sensitive to detail. For the most part I find
the AT4050 to be a flat type of response mic, except there is a definite rise
from the upper mids up which gives an extra brightness and presence. Female
vocals, room and acoustic sources, all of these sources make the AT4050 a very
decent pick.
Conclusion: When transparent with a
bit of top end boost is what you need, the AT4050 delivers. Super low noise and
lack of character make it more about the natural source.
