Audio-Technica AT5047 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone
Audio-Technica's Flagship Studio Mic
Sweetwater engineers were very impressed with AT5040, Audio-Technica's first entry in their flagship studio microphone series. Now, the AT5047 raises the performance bar with transformer-coupled output, greater dynamic range, and improved SPL handling. The AT5047 employs new technology and premium components to deliver high-definition audio. A-T's innovative rectangular element combines four matched diaphragms together to create a single cohesive unit. With an area twice the size of the usual 1" circular diaphragm, the AT5047 delivers realism, depth, presence, and purity of sound. Fast transient response makes the AT5047 perfect for vocals and acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, strings, and saxophone. As soon as the sound from this mic hits your ears, you'll know you're onto something special. Bring the high-definition sound of the Audio-Technica AT5047 to your studio today.
State-of-the-art diaphragm delivers high-definition sound
Using recent breakthroughs in sound-capture technology, Audio-Technica has developed a 4-part rectangular element for the AT5047. These four matched ultra-thin diaphragms function as a single unit (with outputs proprietarily summed) and provide a surface area that is twice the size of a standard 1" diaphragm. By using four diaphragms in a single capsule, you get all the benefits of an extra-large element with an extremely low noise floor. The cardioid polar pattern of the Audio-Technica AT5047 rejects unwanted sound from the sides and back of the mic, making it perfect for recording in the studio.
Precision-built diaphragm and electronics
The Audio-Technica AT5047's 2-micron-thick, vapor-deposited gold diaphragm is just the beginning of this amazing mic's sound. Only carefully selected discrete components are used in the AT5047 to deliver optimized capsule performance. Each microphone is hand assembled and inspected to ensure the highest quality control available.
Internal shockmount keeps unwanted noise away
Audio-Technica has gone to great lengths to make sure the AT5047 delivers only the purest of sounds. An internal shockmount decouples the capsule from the body. This significantly reduces handling noise and structure-borne rumble that can ruin a perfect take. The included AT8480 shockmount further cuts down on vibrational noise.
Transparent highs, rich lows, and low noise
The AT5047 produces transparent highs and mids balanced by rich bottom end, while its advanced acoustic engineering guarantees extensive performance capabilities and the highest quality. A-T uses transformer-coupled output for creamy-smooth sonic character. The Audio-Technica AT5047's condenser design offers a remarkably musical performance, with a profound realism and depth that you have to hear to believe. Ideal for studio vocals, this mic gives you a wide dynamic range with exceptionally low noise.
