Audio-Technica introduces AT5047 studio mic
The AT5047 is one of the premier studio microphones that is equally at home with vocals
and instruments. Boasting an exceptionally wide dynamic range- the greatest among all
Audio-Technica microphones, the AT5047 captures the full and expressive character of
a sound source, despite how loud or how soft. Since it 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 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.
By using four diaphragms in a single capsule, the AT5047 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.
The AT5047 also incorporates the AT5040’s advanced internal shock mounting design, which
effectively decouples the capsule from the microphone body and comes with the innovative
AT8480 shock mount, first introduced with the AT5040.
Each AT5047 microphone is hand assembled and individually inspected for 100% quality
control. The microphone is enclosed in an elegant housing of aluminum and brass with
a high-quality silver finish.
Discrete components have been selected for optimized performance. In fact, every aspect
of the microphone has been carefully considered to minimize any effects on the audio
signal.
