The AT4050/CM5 is a transformerless, multiple-pattern studio microphone designed for use in the most demanding applications. The capacitor element utilizes dual, gold-plated and aged, large diaphragms for extended frequency response. The microphone polar pattern can be switched for cardioid, omnidirectional or figure-of- eight operation. This, coupled with low-noise transformerless electronics, makes this microphone ideal for the most critical digital recordings. The dynamic range of the AT4050/CM5 is 132 dB without the built-in attenuator and it accepts up to 149 dB SPL without capsule or electronic-system distortion above 1% T.H.D. The AT4050/CM5 is the culmination of extensive field evaluations in studio environments with resultant significant advances in micro-phone performance factors. The AT4050/CM5’s low-noise circuitry is symmetrical and transformerless, resulting in exceptional transient response and clean output signals, even under high-output condi-tions. The microphone is totally free of the distortion associated with conventional transformer-coupled outputs. Its fast response to tran-sients contributes to the open, transparent reproduction of even the most troublesome of instruments and sound effects. To ensure opti-mum performance, floating-construction mounting of the element provides isolation from noise and vibration. The AT4050/CM5 combines the benefits of exceptionally low self-noise with very high output. Equally important, it handles very high sound pressure levels with ease. The AT4050/CM5 may be used with confidence in a wide variety of miking applications, even under the stringent demands of modern digital recording systems. A switchable 10 dB (nominal) pad is built-in, increasing the SPL AT4050/CM5 with included AT8441 shock mount An integral 80 Hz hi-pass filter provides easy switching from a flat frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The hi-pass switch is recessed to prevent accidental activation. The hi-pass position reduces the microphone’s sensitivity to “popping” in close vocal use, and handling noise. It reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (i.e. traffic, air-handling systems, etc.) and room reverberation. The AT4050/CM5 incorporates a dual-diaphragm configuration that allows undistorted reproduction of high sound pressure level signals at all frequencies. The 2-micron-thick vapor-deposited gold diaphragms provide accurate reproduction of even the most subtle sounds, especially high-frequency signals not easily reproduced by conventional large-diaphragm condenser transducers. For a warm, true-to-life quality, the dual, large-diaphragm design provides remarkable low-frequency performance in all the polar pattern settings. Every AT4050/CM5 diaphragm is aged through five different steps to assure the optimum characteristics achieved will remain constant over years of use. The symmetrical housing assembly surrounding the microphone capsule and its open acoustical environment allow the off-axis response to be ideally suited for studio work where natural reproduc-tion of off-axis sound is of paramount importance. The AT4050/CM5 will operate in conjunction with any remote “phantom” or “simplex” power source supplying 48 volts DC, such as the AC-powered Audio-Technica AT8801 single-channel and CP8506 four-channel phantom power supplies. The AT4050/CM5 includes an AT8441 shock mount. This effective shock mount fits 5 /8 "-27 threaded stands
