AT’S FLAGSHIP 50 SERIES

Audio-Technica’s respected 50 Series ushers another microphone into the fold with the new AT5047. Featuring the same capsule as the AT5040 but with a transformer-coupled output and optimised electronics, the AT5047 has the widest dynamic range among all Audio-Technica microphones – 142dB, 1kHz at max SPL. The transformer-coupled output maintains a constant load output impedance, even when capturing sources at extreme SPL, ensuring a stable relationship between the mic and the preamp or console it’s plugged into. Like the AT5040, the AT5047 has four rectangular two-micron-thick diaphragms which function together to provide a combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm. Internal shock mounting decouples the capsule from the microphone body, and the included AT8480 shock mount provides superior bump insurance. Each AT5047 is hand-assembled and inspected before it leaves the factory, and it ships with a custom hard-shell carry case with die-cut foam compartments.
