  • Q & A

    Would this mic be effective suspended over a church font, to replace hand-held and thus free up the priest's hands. Our AVA system has a mixer through which we control our current microphones.

    Brent

    Is this omnidirectional or not?

    Chstechnerd

    The PRO45 is a directional cardioid pickup.

    Brent

    Can I use it to record the auditorium environment? (live recording)

    Is there a ceiling tile hanging kit for the pro45? if not, any suggestions

    Kevin

    There is not one available from A-T and you may use any third party rubber grommet to hang from a ceiling.

    Brent

    By any chance is there a stand that is compatible with this mic instead of running it through the ceiling?

    Kev

    While the AT8438 was not designed to be used with the PRO45 microphone, it may be used to accomplish your task.

    Can this microphone be mounted approx. 15 ft over a choir and still be effective? Ceiling is vaulted .

    Angel.

    It is all relative to how the sound system is tuned, how loud the choir is singing, etc.

    ATUS_Specialist3

    How does the Pro 45 compare to the U853R? What are the differences?

    Digitalman

    Please contact our Audio Solutions Department at (330) 686-2600 ext 5000 or at audio-solutions@atus.com for assistance with this.

    ATUS_Specialist3

    Is there any disadvantage to running this at 12 or 24v phantom power as opposed to 48v?

    G

    There will be no performance difference as the PRO45 can operate on 9-52v.

    ATUS_Specialist3

    Can the attached XLR type of connector be converted to a 1/4" mono phone plug?

    Pat

    No, phantom power, needed for condenser microphones is only carried via an XLR connection.
