Description
Audio-Technica PRO 42 is a miniature unidirectional condenser boundary microphone designed for discreet surface-mount installations in professional environments. Its extremely low-profile design ensures minimal visual presence on conference tables, podiums, lecterns, and stages—making it ideal for boardrooms, schools, government facilities, houses of worship, and other installed sound applications.
Engineered for sound reinforcement, broadcasting, and recording, the PRO 42 delivers crisp, intelligible audio reproduction for speech-focused applications. The wide-range condenser element with a low-mass diaphragm provides accurate sound capture with excellent clarity and articulation.
The microphone’s half-cardioid polar pattern captures sound from the hemisphere above the mounting surface while effectively rejecting unwanted noise from surrounding areas. Self-contained electronics simplify installation by eliminating the need for external power modules.
Built for durability, the PRO 42 features rugged construction suitable for long-term installed use. A permanently attached 25-foot cable with XLRM connector provides convenient connectivity and flexible placement options.
