Kommentar des Toningenieurs

Tonal Profile

A DC-bias (externally polarised) three-pattern large diaphragm - not an electret, unlike most of the 40 series. Figure-8 on an AT4050 is genuinely usable, which is why it turns up as the side mic in mid-side rigs.

Gain Staging Advice

-36 dBV/Pa is 4 dB quieter on output than an AT4033a for the same 17 dB-A floor, so the AT4050 is the harder of the two to feed from a weak preamp.

Was im Datenblatt tatsächlich steht

Wörtlich von der Herstellerseite zitiert, mit dem Datum der Prüfung. Wir behaupten das Gedruckte, nicht die Absicht dahinter.

Messbedingungen
«感度 -36dB(15.8mV)(0dB=1V/Pa,1kHz)»

One sensitivity figure covers all three switchable patterns (omni, cardioid, figure-8) and the sheet does not say which was measured. Audio-Technica does the same on the AT2050. The reference is at least named here - 0 dB = 1 V/Pa - which is more than many of its competitors manage.

«ノイズ 17dB SPL»

The noise row carries no weighting, while the same table's signal-to-noise row does: «77dB (1kHz at 1Pa, A特性)». 94 dB SPL minus 77 dB is exactly 17 dB, so the figure is A-weighted - but only the neighbouring row says so. On the AT4033a sheet, built from the same template, the noise row itself reads «17dB SPL(A特性)».
