Comments about Audio-Technica AT2050 Multi-Pattern Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:
my band uses this mic to record vocals, but we have also used it for recording drums!, bass!, and and guitar!. Our band loves this mic, and we would never be able to record without it!!! Go out and buy one, i promise you'll never regret it!!!
Comments about Audio-Technica AT2050 Multi-Pattern Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:
After buying this mic, i was very impressed about the way this mic sounded in comparison with the nt1a. With the rode mics, ive experienced that rode mics had a somewhat harsh sound in the high mid/high frequencies in a matter of speaking which could ultimately make a sound source sound almost brittle. But with the the 2050, it was an immediate difference in the upper frequencies and was very smooth in my ears. This mic can make vocals clear and smooth and make horns sounds full and detailed. When i bought this mic, i wasnt looking for anything special but after i tried it, i was very glad i bought it.

Comments about Audio-Technica AT2050 Multi-Pattern Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:
This microphone meets the expected versatily of a multi-pattern microphone with a sound quality that can be compared to its higher cost counterpart. Polar pattern, low-cut, and pad setting on this microphone can be changed easily without using a tool, and it fits nicely on its shockmount.

Comments about Audio-Technica AT2050 Multi-Pattern Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:
This mic is easily one of the best mics I've ever used. I was trepidatious on what the quality would be because of the price range, but I was totally blown away. Being a metal vocalist who combines heavy and clean vocals, having a mic that can do the job for both styles is very important; and finding one that won't kill your wallet is equally as important. When I'm not recording in someone else's studio, this is my go-to for all my vox work.

Comments about Audio-Technica AT2050 Multi-Pattern Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:
I use this pretty much exclusively for ways in which it was not intended to be used with most of my recordings being of musicians performing outside in locations with water hazards, awkward placements and the general exposure to the elements. Creates a beautiful, big sound that leaves me totally satisfied, including excellent instrument reproduction and glorious vocals.
