Audio Technica AT5047, Cardioid Studio microphone

Audio Technica AT5047 is a cardioid premier studio microphone that is equally at home with vocals and instruments. The Audio Technica AT5047 is the greatest among all Audio-Technica microphones - the Audio Technica AT5047 captures the full, expressive character of a sound source, no matter how loud or how soft. Because the Audio Technica AT5047 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. 

In keeping with the 50 Series' commitment to purity of sound, the Audio Technica AT5047 includes the four-part rectangular element originally developed for the AT5040. Four exquisitely matched ultra-thin diaphragms function together (with outputs proprietarily summed) as Audio-Technica's largest-ever element, providing combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm.

Because the AT5047 has a four diaphragms in a single capsule, this can Audio Technica AT5047 can delivers the benefits of an exceptionally large diaphragm - along with an extremely low noise floor - without increased weight, decreased transient response or other drawbacks that typically restrict diaphragm size. 

In addition, the Audio Technica AT5047 also incorporates the AT5040's advanced internal shock mounting design, which effectively decouple the capsule from the microphone body, and comes with the innovative AT8480 shock mount, first introduced with the Audio Technica AT5047.
