"Smoothest mic I've ever used"
Verified Purchaser

I have used a bunch of microphones . Some people want extreme clarity . Some people want something that completely hides their voice with air and some effects. I personally like clear it's with a tidbit of air for that nice sweet smoothness. And this mic does exactly that . There is something special that this mic does to your sound . I think it's because of a decreased volume on the 1k . It just removed the harsh and painful sound that a loud voice would give. It's smooth - that's for sure ! I fully recommend this microphone after using all the ones I have in this price range .

"4050"

I wanted this mic every since I first heard it at a music store in the 90's..just never bought one. It is an all rounder. I have other color mics but this one fairly uncolored. It has no personality. Imo its a refrence mic that eq well. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is starting out.I do recommend it as addition to a pro mic locker.

Audio-Technica AT4050 Mic Customer Review
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Sound
Sounds identical to me to the 414 ULS B. these mics are all for those who can't afford the Neuman U87. I usually cut bit of the upper mids on mixdown, as it has a tendency to increase the 1K area of the source. Other than that, I've found it to be extremely accurate and virtually transparent.
Musical Style:
Modern, funky electric acoustic rock.

Sound
Very crisp. Purchased this after I noticed the studio I go to has it in all the rooms. The engineers love it and the price was just right. I am a VO actor and recommend the AT4050 to anyone in the business. A high end mic at a very reasonable price.
