Audio Technica PRO45 Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone - Black
The Audio Technica PRO45 is a Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone designed for suspension over choirs, orchestras and theatrical stages — delivering wide-range, high-SPL condenser performance with a 7.6m permanently attached cable for clean, unobtrusive overhead sound reinforcement and recording in theatres, houses of worship and performance venues.
The Audio Technica PRO45 is a professional cardioid condenser hanging microphone designed for suspended overhead use in a wide range of sound reinforcement and recording applications — including speech reinforcement, theatre, orchestral and choir sound reinforcement and recording. Its compact, unobtrusive appearance and robust construction make it an ideal choice for permanent and semi-permanent hanging installations in theatres, concert halls, houses of worship, conference rooms and any other environment where a discreet overhead microphone solution is required. The cardioid polar pattern provides focused pickup from below whilst rejecting unwanted sound from the sides and rear, minimising feedback and ensuring clean, intelligible capture of voices and acoustic instruments from above.
High-SPL Condenser Element for Choir & Orchestral Use
The PRO45 features a fixed-charge back plate, permanently polarized condenser element with a low-mass diaphragm — providing a wide-range frequency response from 70Hz to 16kHz with a flat, smooth character that ensures natural and accurate reproduction of both speech and music. With a maximum SPL handling of 134dB and a 106dB dynamic range, the PRO45 is well equipped to handle the high sound pressure levels generated by choirs and orchestras at close range without distortion — making it equally suitable for intimate speech reinforcement and high-output musical performance applications. Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for external power modules, simplifying installation and system design.
Practical Permanently Attached Cable
The PRO45 is supplied with a 7.6m (25ft) cable permanently attached between the microphone body and the XLR male connector — providing sufficient cable length for most hanging installation scenarios without the need for additional cable runs from the microphone position to the nearest stage box or connector. The microphone accepts phantom power from 9V to 52V DC for compatibility with a wide range of mixing desks, amplifiers and sound systems.
