ST6050 SPECIFICATIONS
Voiced by legendary Engineer/Producer and multiple Grammy
®
recipient, Allen Sides, the ST6050 was inspried by Ocean Way’s
expansive collection of superb sounding microphones, spanning
many decades and musical eras.
By combining classic capsule and FET design with modern
manufacturing and consistency, the ST6050 yields stunning
clarity with a rich, warm, open sound with a silky top end — ideal
for modern artists, producers and engineers.
CAPSULE
•1” diameter, 8 micron thick, gold-sputtered capsule
• Traditional machining and exceptionally tight manufacturing tolerances
for individual parts
•Hand-assembly and testing of final capsule
TRANSFORMER
•Robust transformer design with side-by-side windings yield an even,
low frequency response while maintaining openness and top-end air.
FET PREAMP
•Select modernization of traditional FET design for
exceptional consistency
•Extremely tight component tolerances
•Optimized PCB ground planes improve grounding and increase RFI/
EMI rejection
•Requires 48V phantom power
CHASSIS
•Chrome plated, woven-brass grill with steel head frame
•Heavy brass body with chrome plated closing ring
INCLUDED ACCESSORIES
•SM7-N shock mount
•Oak hardshell case
•Windscreen
“Sterling and Ocean
Way Recording have
partnered to develop a
microphone with an
impressive, larger-than-life
sound in an affordable
and repeatable way.”
