Audio-Technica Now Shipping AT5047

Audio-Technica has announced that it is now shipping the new AT5047 Cardioid Condenser Microphone – the most recent addition to its 50 Series.

The AT5047 is a premier studio microphone that features the same capsule as the AT5040 but with a transformer-coupled output and optimized electronics. It is equally at home capturing instruments and vocals.

Boasting a wide dynamic range, the AT5047 captures the full, expressive character of a sound source, no matter how loud or soft. It is equipped with a transformer-coupled output, ensuring that 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.

The AT5047 features four rectangular two-micron-thick diaphragms, which function together to provide a combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm. Discrete components have been selected and optimized for maximum performance and compatibility with an array of microphone preamps and console inputs. Advanced internal shock mounting decouples the capsule from the microphone body, and the included advanced-design AT8480 shock mount provides superior isolation.

With an elegant, durable housing of aluminium and brass, each AT5047 has been hand-assembled and inspected for 100% quality control. A custom hard-shell carrying case with die-cut foam compartments offers protection during storage and transport.
