Audio-Technica AT5047 Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone

For professionals seeking a high-quality, durable, and reliable studio microphone, the Audio-Technica AT5047 Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone is an exceptional choice. This versatile microphone excels in capturing both vocals and instruments, making it a valuable asset in any recording studio. The AT5047 is renowned for its wide dynamic range, the broadest among all Audio-Technica microphones. This feature allows it to capture the full, expressive character of any sound source, regardless of volume. Its cardioid polar pattern is specifically designed to pick up sound from a specific direction while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for recording in a studio setting.Equipped with a transformer-coupled output, the AT5047 maintains a constant load output impedance. This feature ensures a stable relationship between the microphone and a mic preamp or console input, even when recording sources at extreme sound pressure levels (SPL).The AT5047 is part of Audio-Technica's 50 Series, a line committed to delivering pure, unaltered sound. It incorporates the four-part rectangular element originally developed for the AT5040. This unique design features four ultra-thin diaphragms that function together, providing a combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm. This innovative approach delivers the benefits of a large diaphragm, such as an extremely low noise floor, without the drawbacks typically associated with larger diaphragm sizes, such as increased weight or decreased transient response.The AT5047 also features the AT5040's advanced internal shock mounting design, effectively decoupling the capsule from the microphone body. This design, along with the included AT8480 shock mount, minimizes handling noise and ensures superior audio quality.Each AT5047 microphone is meticulously hand-assembled and individually inspected to ensure 100% quality control. The microphone is housed in a stylish aluminum and brass casing with a high-quality silver finish. Every component has been carefully selected for optimized performance, ensuring that the AT5047 delivers unparalleled audio quality in every recording.
