Product Overview
The Audio-Technica PRO45W is a cardioid condenser hanging microphone finished in white for discreet installation above choirs, orchestras, theaters, and houses of worship. Its self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an external power module, drawing instead on standard phantom power. The low-profile design keeps the microphone visually unobtrusive while capturing natural ensemble sound. It is engineered for permanent overhead suspension in sound-reinforcement and recording applications.
Product Description

The PRO45W cardioid condenser hanging microphone is purpose-built for overhead vocal and instrument pickup in installed sound systems. A wide-range condenser element with a low-mass diaphragm delivers flat, smooth frequency response across the program material, making it well suited to group vocals and full ensembles. High SPL handling up to 134 dB allows the microphone to be suspended over loud choirs and orchestras without distortion. The permanently attached 25-foot cable terminates in a 3-pin XLRM-type connector for a clean run back to the mixer or audio interface. Because the electronics are self-contained, the PRO45W needs only phantom power from the console, simplifying installation and reducing rack hardware. The white finish blends into ceilings and stage rigging where a black microphone would be conspicuous. Included AT8146(WH) windscreen and AT8451(WH) steel hanger provide everything needed for a finished overhead install. For integrators specifying choir and theater coverage, the PRO45W is a dependable, low-visibility choice. Browse related models at Creation Networks to compare hanging microphone options.
