Wanting some bang for your buck? Take a look at the Autio-Technica AT2050, a multipattern condenser mic that's great for most any application. Cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional -- whatever you need, the AT2050's got you covered. And along with an 80 Hz high-pass filter plus a 10 dB pad, the versatility of the AT2050, especially for the price, is hard to overstate.
