AT4050 Stereo Mic
I got one of these a week or so back and have had time today to play with it a little. It's based on the AT4050 mic, but with a cardioid and figure of eight capsule under the hood.
A Mid/Side stereo mic also with 90 degree and 120 degree matrixed outputs, so you can choose either of the three. Pad and low cut filter as well. I put it up and played around a bit, explaining how and what I was doing. Very nice mic and it answers a lot of what people have been asking about for multiple mics on an acoustic guitar. Very little phase cancellation due to the placement of the capsules. Here's a link. http://db.tt/5quMDxR3 I'm using GML preamps and going through an RME A/D converter to ProTools LE. Sitting behind my audio desk. The HVAC is running softly in the background. Regards, Ty Ford |

Sounds fine but any way possible to post a higher resolution mp3 or a wav?

Sounds really nice and wide at the 14" which was my favorite for solo piece recording, I think. The 16-18" seemed like it might fit in a tight mix better though. I like the explanations of where/what you have going on there. It has a nice warmth to my ears.
Loved the kalimba too. I'm naive, I guess, and I had to look up what that was. I knew it as a thumb piano! |

Thanks, Ty! I'd been curious about the sound of this versatile mic. Your narration sure helped explain what we're hearing. Very nice recording and playing!

Moe,
Thanks! Happy to provide a helping ear. The idea of a nice sounding mic with both capsules inside keeps a lot of phasing errors from occurring. The three ways of getting stereo, narrow, wide and M/S make it pretty versatile. Regards, Ty Ford |
