The AT2035 is intended for a wide variety of miking applications, including overheads, acoustic instruments and guitar cabinets. It features a large diaphragm for smooth, natural sound and low noise. The mic's cardioid polar pattern reduces the pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of the desired sound source.
It has a fixed cardioid polar pattern and offers a flat, extended frequency response (20-20,000 Hz); high SPL handling capability (148 dB, 158 dB with the 10 dB pad); and an element yielding low self-noise (12 dB SPL).
The AT2050 is designed for studio use and live sound productions with vocals, piano, strings, overheads, guitar amps and more. It offers three switchable polar patterns: omni, cardioid and figure-eight. Its dual large diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across its full frequency range (20-20,000 Hz), says the company.
