PRO 45 ProPoint Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone, Black

As a church sound engineer, I’m always on the lookout for reliable and high-quality microphones that enhance clarity and coverage. The Audio-Technica PRO 45 ProPoint Cardioid Condenser Hanging Microphone has been an outstanding addition to our setup.Why It’s Perfect for Church Use:Crystal-Clear Sound: The cardioid pickup pattern is fantastic at isolating sound from the choir or speakers, minimizing background noise while capturing every detail beautifully. It’s especially great for larger sanctuaries.Discreet and Professional Design: The sleek, black finish blends seamlessly into our ceiling-mounted setup, making it nearly invisible to the congregation while looking professional.Versatile Placement: The hanging design allows precise positioning, and it covers wide areas effectively. It’s ideal for choir sections, acoustic instruments, or overhead speech capture.Durable Build: This mic is built to last. It’s handled weekly use in our services and events without any signs of wear or performance issues.Easy Integration: It works seamlessly with our existing audio equipment and is easy to adjust and manage. Setup was straightforward, and it delivers consistent performance every time.This microphone has significantly improved the sound quality of our live services and recordings. Whether you’re mic’ing a choir, ensemble, or a specific section of the stage, the PRO 45 delivers exceptional clarity and reliability. Highly recommend it for any church or venue looking for a high-quality hanging microphone.

They pickup sound great. We used them in a church to be able to pickup questions during Bible study. Very happy with these.

I got two of these and they work really good for the low price. A bit more feedback than I'd like but that's what I get for using two. They are only about 12ft apart on stage so that's on me. As long as I keep the gain at like half there's no feedback.

Works perfectly in our small theater.Great sound quality.

Used to pick up Choir in Church for the livestream, works fine

great product. I don't find anything flat about it's response but I love it's clarity and what I can do with what it picks up! Perfect mic for the $. who knows, maybe it really sounds like that 10' up!Using as blend for live recording, I pick up the house sound with this mic and lay the soundboard signal on top of it; with the right eq on this mic it makes for a great rich, clear mix. Without the eq it sounds like it's in a tube.update on review: In looking back, I think the mic has a perfectly flat response and it did sound really different 10' up in our venue where I had the mic hanging. I love the mic, it is very directional which means you can point it in a manner that avoids feedback and you can choose what you pick up with it. Great mic for the money.

I bought two of these for use in a musical production to pick up singing by the larger cast on stage and also to record the cast/chorus for one scene for playback. These did a great job. They are small and have great hangers and long cords. They are probably not top of the line, but they did great. A note about using stage mics for live performances. We used a graphic EQ with these to find and remove the feedback frequency for the mics and hall, so we could get more gain out of them. They were perfect for recording a group of about 30 people. I would recommend these for use on stage, and the price is right.

Our church added livestream in 2020 but we were noticing you couldn't hear the sending prayer from the back of the church (we would process to the back where the un-mic'd assistant minister recites a sending prayer). We added this at the back and it's proven much more useful than just for the AM sending prayer. We used it for a choir concert we hosted and it really completed the audio experience for livestreamer viewers as the choir entered the sanctuary walking under this microphone and you could hear the individuals walk past singing which made the viewer feel like they were right there in the audience.

Gut, Danke.

Lo use para los instrumentos en la iglesia, excelente recepción de sonido.

Worst quality material delivered and delivery is extremely late

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.

Ottimo microfono che capta perfettamente la musica è il canto (e anche le voci). Fa molto bene il suo lavoro.
