Description
Audio-Technica AT5047 is a premier cardioid condenser microphone designed for high-end studio recording of both vocals and instruments. Renowned for delivering the widest dynamic range of any Audio-Technica microphone, the AT5047 faithfully captures every nuance of a performance—from the softest brush strokes on a drum to powerful vocal passages—without distortion or loss of detail.
At the heart of the microphone are four ultra-thin rectangular diaphragms (2 microns), working together to create a combined surface area twice that of a traditional one-inch circular diaphragm. This innovative design results in exceptional sensitivity, low noise, and remarkable transient accuracy, providing a natural and expressive sound reproduction.
The AT5047 uses carefully selected discrete components and a transformer-coupled output stage to deliver a smooth, musical character while maintaining compatibility with professional preamps and mixing consoles. Advanced internal shock mounting isolates the capsule from the microphone body, reducing mechanical vibration and handling noise.
Hand-assembled and individually inspected for strict quality control, the microphone features an elegant yet durable aluminum and brass housing built for long-term professional use. An advanced custom AT8480 shock mount ensures superior isolation during recording, while the included hard-shell carrying case protects the microphone during transport and storage.
