Audio-Technica AT5047 Cardioid Condenser
Microphone
Audio-Technica is now shipping the AT5047 cardioid condenser microphone. The most recent
addition to the company’s 50 Series, the AT5047 features the same capsule as the AT5040 but
with a transformer-coupled output and optimized electronics. It is equally capable of captur-
ing instruments and vocals.
Boasting the widest dynamic range of all Audio-Technica microphones, the AT5047 is de-
signed to capture the full character of a sound source, regardless of how loud or soft it is. Since
it’s equipped with a transformer-coupled output, the microphone maintains a constant load
output impedance, even when capturing sources at extreme SPLs, resulting in a stable relation-
ship between the mic and a mic preamp or console input.
The AT5047 features four rectangular two-micron-thick diaphragms, which function together
to provide a combined surface area twice that of a standard 1-in. circular diaphragm.
