The PRO45 is a wide-range condenser microphone with a cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern. It was designed for high-quality sound reinforcement and other demanding sound pickup applications. The PRO 45 is furnished with a vinyl-coated steel hanger that allows it to be positioned inconspicuously over a choir, orchestra, stage, etc., for low-profile situations. The PRO45 features a 25′ (7.6 m) permanently-attached miniature cable with an XLRM-type connector, which allows it to be plugged directly into an XLRF-type jack or cable connector. The unit’s integral electronics can be powered from any external 9V to 52V DC phantom power source. The high sensitivity of the PRO45 ensures useful output and an excellent match to most mixer, tape recorder and amplifier inputs. It will provide undistorted output even in sound fields as loud as 134 dB SPL.Furnished accessories: AT8146 foam windscreen; AT8451 steel hanger.Audio-Technica PRO45 Main Features:Hi-SPL handling is ideal for suspension over choirs and orchestrasWide-range condenser element with low-mass diaphragm for superior performanceSelf-contained electronics eliminate need for external power modulesFlat, smooth frequency response25′ (7.6 m) cable permanently attached between microphone and XLRM-type connectorAlso available in white as PRO 45W
