Low-end warm with top-end clarity
With so many microphones available on the market, it can be hard to choose one that fits both your voice and needs. Generally, you want one that will give your voice some low-end warmth with no added color. That’s where the AC50 from H&A shines.
You have instant control at the flip of a switch, or two, if you want to add a low pass filter or keep an overall flat frequency response when recording. The low pass filter is extra helpful when you’re running an air conditioner, fan, or for eliminating some of the rumble from nearby traffic.
When to use the H&A AC50
Since the AC50 is a cardioid dynamic microphone, it’s perfect for recording in noisy home studio environments or offices. The cardioid pattern rejects most of the ambient sounds in a room while solely focusing on what’s directly in front of the capsule—typically your voice, which is what you want. Additionally, the microphone is built with an integrated pop filter which eliminates the need for having to buy a separate one.
A sleek, effective microphone
While it does take similar design inspiration from other popular dynamic mics out there, I must say, this mic is simply beautiful to look at. Its sleek black anodized coating shimmers in the light, making it feel like you broke your wallet without actually breaking the bank.
The included mic clip and adapter allow for easy mounting with your mic arm of choice to help complete the ever-popular all-black theme many studios have today.
Very few companies give the impression they have the perfect cardioid dynamic microphone, but the H&A AC50 feels like it will live up to the hype. Its distinguished performance and attractive looks make it the first choice for anyone working with their voice—and even for those that do instrumentals. If you’re an audio veteran or someone just looking to upgrade your microphone arsenal, the AC50 by H&A should be on your radar.
