Discover the AT5047: Leading Music Engineers and Producers are Using A-T's Newest Studio Microphone For more than 50 years, Audio-Technica has been devoted to designing and manufacturing quality audio equipment for studios, musicians, and consumers. And it was this dedication to quality that drove us to create our latest professional studio microphone: the AT5047 Cardioid Condenser Studio Microphone. The AT5047 is the newest member of the 50 Series of microphones and the recipient of a 2018 Technical Excellence and Creativity (TEC) Award. The AT5047 comes equipped with the same four-part rectangular element originally developed for the AT5040, but with a transformer-coupled output and optimized electronics. The AT5047 boasts an exceptionally wide dynamic range, and its four rectangular diaphragms offer a combined surface area twice that of a standard one-inch circular diaphragm. The result is a premier studio microphone that is equally at home with vocals and instruments. But don’t just take our word for it – top music engineers and producers have recently used the AT5047 on a wide variety of projects. See what they had to say about the newest member of the 50 Series.

Occasionally I'm asked, if I can only afford one mic, what should I get. The AT5047 is that microphone."

In testing out and using the AT5047, I found the microphone to be incredibly flat and uncolored. One can choose to color it with different preamps and compression choices. The headroom and flat response makes the 5047 an extremely versatile microphone.”

We used it on a recent project for The Mavericks, on all the acoustic guitars, most of the percussion and electric guitar.”
