Audio-TechnicaPRO45 Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphones White

I purchased these to hang over a stage in a secondary school to supplement the existing centre stage microphones. Whilst, so far, I haven’t used them very much, the sound pickup is very good, as is the sound quality. The microphone is small and neat with a decent length of cable on them - plenty long enough for our needs. Unlike our existing microphones, the cable is terminated with a standard XLR plug (the existing ones have a transformer or similar built into the much bulkier XLR plug). This means that should the need arise, the plug can easily be re-terminated or replaced.My slight concern with these microphones is the hanging adapter that angles the microphone towards the sound source. Our existing ones have one made of a springy piece of wire which will take some abuse. These appear to be made of plastic which feels very flimsy, like it could break very easily given an enthusiastic user! Having said that, this is a minor issue - I would happily purchase these again should the need arise.

These are very very nice and sneaky designs. Working very well for us

Used 2 of theee to hang above an orchestra worked great for live sound and multitrack equally sounded great

Very good sound quality, much smaller than I envisaged so very discrete. Used over an amateur drama group's set to relay action on the set to the actors dressing room. Much better that a baby monitor that we have been using previously!!

what a good product , no feedback very loud without distortion , easy to use , quick delivery , very good price, good comunication from seller, not a cheap product but you get what u pay for , many thanks for a quick delivery.

I have bought a few of these over the years. They hang permanently above the stage in our local village hall and are used in earnest only two or three times a year. I have been disappointed that they haven't lasted longer - I've had to replace a couple of them in the last 5 years. When they work they're fine but they tend to go intermittent dis. Sometimes a firm tap is all that's needed to get them working again. There are cheaper products around and after buying this one I thought I'd try the Samson CM12C mic to see if it lasted any longer. The jury's out on this as by the time I got it the fault on the PRO45 it was going to replace had cleared itself!
