      Comments about Audio-Technica Pro 45 - Cardioid Condenser Hanging Mic:

      working on getting a studio set up focusing on ease of use. These are cheap, but still deliver well on the sound. I'm using two in a classroom setting, one directed towards the professor, and the other towards the classroom for streaming classroom.

        Comments about Audio-Technica Pro 45 - Cardioid Condenser Hanging Mic:

        We use three of these to place above the stage to record audio for our HD video shoot. Our client is much happier this run with the quality of the audio. The last run we hung shotgun mics in the ceiling, not a good idea.

          Purchased several of these for the stage at my last school and they were great-my predecessor had been using hand-held mikes hung over the stage at my current school, and I knew these would be better-clear, sharp reproduction; good pickup area.

            These microphones helped to solve a problem in designing sound pickup in a web enabled classroom. The quality for value made these an obvious choice for ceiling installation to isolate groups of 2-3 learners in webcast classroom.
