Audio-Technica PRO 35

Miniature cardioid condenser clip-on for horns, strings and drums, in the UniMount foam-lined clip with a flexible arm; AT8538 power module with 80 Hz roll-off

Power Phantom 11-52 V DC.

Type
Condenser (electret)
Pattern
Cardioid
Sensitivity
−45 dBV/Pa
vs 16 clip-on condensers

More output than 73% of 16 clip-on condensers.

Each stripe is one clip-on condenser with a published sensitivity, and each bar counts them; further right means more output. This mic is in blue.

  • Among 204 condensers: more output than 18%
  • Among 311 mics: more output than 42%
Self-noise
30 dB(A) computed
Max SPL
145 dB SPL
vs 16 clip-on condensers

Takes louder sound than 47% of 16 clip-on condensers.

Each stripe is one clip-on condenser with a published max SPL, and each bar counts them; further right means it takes louder sound. This mic is in blue.

  • Among 277 condensers: takes louder sound than 80%
  • Among 343 mics: takes louder sound than 78%
Rated range
50 – 15k Hz
