This is a MUST-HAVE Microphone for the Broadcaster!

I have to admit, after being a professional broadcast announcer for over 50 years, I was blown away when I plugged the H&A 50 microphone in. I'm use to doing production with a ribbon or condenser mic depending on the commercial. The HA50 had a superb sound that's UN-BEATABLE. Crisp clear highs, rich mid-tones and super sounding bass. This microphone is a definite must have for those wanting true to life sound for broadcast use, voice-overs, commercials...you name it. This mic is in a class all to itself!

Not what I hoped

My mic had a hum. I never replaced it.

Mine hummed in low cut setting...

Hums when the low cut is engaged.... My voice is too low to go with the low cut. On the flat setting the sound is very nice but to much rumble-- Sadly, I will have to shop for a different Dynamic... Maybe the new AT2040 Dynamic Mic.

Amazing deal on a great broadcast and podcast microphone. These are a fantastic deal and comparable to more expensive microphones.

Surprising good.

Bought two on sale. Use them for podcasts and Webcasts. Was worried about quality for the price, but for my application they work great.

Best budget podcasting mic NEW TITLE HOLDER

Literally a steal at $99. The build quality seems to be where the cost cutting comes in, as the mic is lightweight and made from tinny aluminum, so it's very prone to noise from table bumps and touching the mic. But, put it on a boom or in a shock mount, and it's gold for 99 bucks. Comparable to a rode procaster.

Cardioid Dynamic Mic Performance For Clean, Noise-Free Audio Capture

Cardioid mic

Accurate Sound Reproduction.

The H&A AC50 Studio Broadcast Microphone is just what you need for accurate and clean audio podcast capture. Accurate sound capture is achieved due to HA50s ability to reject ambient noise. The moving-coil, dynamic transducer delivers an impressive 20 to 20,000 Hz wide frequency response. No artificial coloring of the sound. Pure clean, flat, pristine capture that preserves the richness of the human voice. A pleasure.

Accurate Sound Reproduction.

Eliminate External Acoustic Challenges.

Dynamic cardioid mics are the top choice for broadcasting and podcasting due to their ability to reject ambient noise. Properly positioned, the AC50 can isolate a single sound source without the distraction of off-axis, extraneous noise. Just the focus on the voice, for intimate vocals, engaging narratives and rich, fully expressive solos.

Eliminate External Acoustic Challenges.

More Control Where It Counts.

The Low Cut switch setting instantly reduces low frequencies by –10dB in order to maintain an overall flat frequency response when needed. That keeps the rumble of low frequency sources out of the recording. An internal pop shield filters low frequencies, giving you command of plosives, the naturally occurring popping noises from speech when you’re talking close to the microphone. You are in command.

More Control Where It Counts.

Easy Set Up & Long-Lasting Durability.

This user-friendly microphone comes with a microphone clip and standard adapter, so you can quickly attach it to a stand and start recording. With a XLR output, phantom power isn’t required making set up even easier. Once finished, pack up your H&A AC50 in its Molded ABS protective case. Lined with impact resistant foam, you can protect your microphone wherever you go and record for years to come.

Easy Set Up & Long-Lasting Durability.

Check it out!

You have found the perfect cardioid mic for all your recording applications!

The excellent performance and rare characteristics of the H&A AC50 make it the first choice for applications for podcasts, broadcast, studio, vocals, narration, fish pole use, and instrumentals.
