Description

The PRO45 solves a common problem in houses of worship, theaters, and performance halls: how do you capture great sound from above without a visible microphone forest? Audio-Technica built this cardioid condenser specifically for suspension applications, pairing a tough, low-profile housing with electronics that hold up to loud, dynamic source material like full choirs and orchestras.

Handles high sound pressure levels cleanly, making it a natural fit for suspending over choirs, orchestras, or ensemble theater casts
Wide-range condenser capsule with a low-mass diaphragm delivers accurate, detailed pickup
Self-powered electronics mean no external power module to route or hide
Flat, smooth frequency response (70-16,000 Hz) for natural, uncolored reinforcement and recording
Cardioid pickup pattern rejects off-axis noise while focusing on the sound source below
Permanently attached 25′ (7.6 m) cable terminates in an XLRM-type connector, simplifying rigging
Compact footprint: 2.24″ long with a 0.47″ head diameter, weighing just 0.5 oz
100 ohm impedance

Available in black as the PRO45. If a white finish fits your ceiling or set design better, Audio-Technica also offers the same microphone as the PRO45W.

Whether you’re mixing live speech reinforcement, capturing a choir concert, or recording an orchestra pit, the PRO45 stays out of sight and out of the way while doing the heavy lifting overhead.
