Audio-Technica AT5047 Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Transformer-Coupled Output

Audio-Technica AT5047 Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Transformer-Coupled Output

The AT5047 is a premier studio microphone that is equally at home with vocals and instruments. Boasting an exceptionally wide dynamic range the greatest among all Audio-Technica microphones the AT5047 captures the full, expressive character of a sound source, no matter how loud or how soft. And since it is equipped with a transformer-coupled output, the microphone maintains a constant load output impedance, even when capturing sources at extreme SPL, resulting in a stable relationship between the mic and a mic preamp or console input.

Features:

• Exceptionally wide dynamic range captures the full, expressive character of instruments and voices from the caress of drum brushes to powerful vocal performances
• Four rectangular diaphragms (2 micron) function together to provide a combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm
• Discrete components carefully selected and optimized for maximum performance and compatibility with standalone microphone preamps and console inputs
• Transformer-coupled output provides smooth sonic character
• Hand assembled and inspected for 100% quality control
• Advanced internal shock mounting decouples the capsule from the microphone body
• Elegant, durable housing of aluminum and brass
• Included advanced-design custom AT8480 shock mount provides superior isolation
