Audio-Technica is shipping their new AT5047 cardioid condenser microphone, the most recent addition to the 50 Series, which also includes the AT5040 vocal microphone and AT5045 instrument mic. The AT5047 features the same capsule as the AT5040 but with a transformer-coupled output and enhanced internals.
Boasting the widest dynamic range of all Audio-Technica microphones, the AT5047 claims “to capture the full, expressive character of a sound source, no matter how loud or how soft.” 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 optimized for performance and compatibility with a wide array of microphone preamps and console inputs. Advanced internal shock mounting decouples the capsule from the microphone body, and the included advanced-design AT8480 shock mount provides superior isolation.
