Condenser Stereo Microphone
Advances in Technology & Change Musical Expression
The latest technological advances have made creating music easier. Being a one-man/woman band and having your own recording studio at your disposal is possible now that digital technology has come about. Burning your own original music CD is not just a dream for amateur musicians: In this day and age it is a reality. The pursuit of a musical career is not limited to only the musicians who can afford studio time. Virtually anyone with a spare room and the time and patience to learn home recording techniques can pursue their musical career without a lot of money. I have been dabbling in home recording for a few years now and I’m constantly amazed how an ordinary woman like me can produce my own CD’s. Using a keyboard I can perform all the songs myself, record all the tracks using an inexpensive digital multitrack recorder, perform vocals using a condenser microphone, and use a home stereo system to monitor my recordings. Granted, my recordings lack the professional quality that commercial music requires, but they do make adequate demos and certainly allow me to lay down my tracks (I do not note) since spontaneous composition is my method of musical expression. How we listen to music has also changed dramatically over the years. Say goodbye to those old cassette decks; the CD recorder and player has taken over the market enabling music lovers to enjoy the highest quality of recorded music. Most recently, the pod has made it possible to store a multitude of songs, creating a personalized pallets of the listener’s favorite tunes. Plug it in and listen in your car, listen while jogging or walking, or listen to tunes on your computer while you work, anytime or anywhere. Yes, some of the new gadgets, like the pod, can be pricey. But, the convenience of having music at your disposable anytime you wish is worth the money invested. Whatever your interest in music is, be it playing, composing or simply listening, technology has certainly changed the way we enjoy music.

Audio-Technica At4050st Stereo Condenser Microphone $1299
The side-address Audio-Technica AT4050ST Stereo Condenser Microphone is externally polarized (DC bias). Its independent cardioid and figure-eight elements are configured in a mid-side arrangement with switch-selectable internal matrixing. Select from either a left-right stereo output (wide 127 or narrow 90) via the microphone’s internal matrixing system, or choose discrete mid-side signals for later manipulation. The Audio-Technica 4050ST mic is designed to meet the most critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement. The AT4050ST microphone includes a 5.0m (16.5′) dual output cable terminating in a 5-pin XLRF-type to 2 standard 3-pin XLRM-type connectors. The microphone output is a 5-pin XLRM-type connector. The AT4050ST microphone is equipped with a switchable 10 dB pad and a switch selects flat response or low-frequency roll-off (via integral 80Hz high-pass filter). Audio-Technica encloses the AT4050 microphone in a rugged housing. The included AT8449 shock mount provides superior isolation and permits mounting on any microphone stand with 5/8″-27 threads. A dust cover and a protective carrying case are also included. Operation and Maintenance The AT4050ST requires 48V phantom power on pins 2 and 3 of both XLR3M-type connectors for operation. Wiring must be balanced throughout, and all mic cables in the system must be wired consistently: pin 1-to-pin 1, etc. If connecting to unbalanced inputs, good-quality balanced line transformers must be used. Mid-Side Operation: In M-S mode, the microphone provides independent Mid and Side signals. This allows the width of the stereo image to be adjusted in post production or in the field with a matrix mixer. Matrixed Stereo: The microphone offers two internally matrixed modes which provide traditional “left-right” stereo without the need for external mixers. To accommodate varying acoustic environments, the user may select between a wide pattern (127) with increased ambient pickup, and a narrow pattern (90) which offers more rejection and less ambience. Output phase is “Pin 2 hot.” For correct left-right stereo orientation, position the microphone so the raised Audio-Technica emblem is facing the sound source. In the internally matrixed modes, locating the microphone nearer the sound source enhances the apparent width of the stereo image, while decreasing room ambience. Moving away from the sound source will result in a narrower stereo image and more room sound.Innovative side-address Mid-Side stereo microphone engineered for professional recording, broadcast and sound reinforcement Independent cardioid and figure-of-eight condenser elements Switch selection of Mid-Side mode and two internally matrixed stereo modes Dual-diaphragm capsules maintain precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range of the microphone Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low-frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high-speed tr
