The multipattern, large-diaphragm A-T AT2050 is a good and trustworthy multi-tasker that won't break the bank. .

Bought this mic after reading so many good reviews on it and hearing a couple sound clips on youtube. Got it in the mail, unboxed it and tried it right away. Totally worth the buy! Definitley an upgrade for me, i was using a cheap $100 condenser mic before this. BIG difference!

This is an excellent mic for the money and is typical of my experience with AT mics. It has a fairly flat, nice full, clean response and does not have the brittle high end of many mics in this price range. Very good sound.

First off, I am not a professional in this field. In fact this is the most expensive microphone that I have ever used. However that means I went into this blind and I have a pretty different perspective in this field. This prouduct was very easy to use. I just plugged it in and it worked.

The advantage of this model (and at this price) is that it offers three directional: omni, cardio and figure 8. It can collect high sound pressure levels through the attenuator, and remains a sensitive microphone.
