Audio-Technica’s acclaimed 50 Series is an elite range of premium recording microphone currently comprising AT5040 vocal and AT5045 instrument mics. The company has now added the AT5047 a premier studio microphone featuring the same capsule as the AT5040 but with a transformer-coupled output and optimised electronics. It is equally at home capturing instruments or vocals.

Just like the AT5040, 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 carefully selected and optimised for maximum performance and compatibility with a wide array of microphone preamps and console inputs.

Key Features:

• Wide dynamic range captures the full, expressive character of instruments and voices 
• Four rectangular diaphragms (2 micron) function together to provide a combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm
