Audio-Technica PRO-49Q Quick-mount Gooseneck Microphone
 
The Audio-Technica PRO 49QL is a cardioid condenser gooseneck microphone built for reliable speech pickup at podiums, pulpits, and conference tables. Its quick-mount design integrates an XLRM insert at the base, letting you plug directly into any standard XLRF surface or cable connector for fast, tool-free setup. A quiet, double-gooseneck stem provides precise positioning without handling noise, while the wide-range condenser capsule with a low-mass diaphragm yields a flat, smooth response tailored for natural voice reproduction. Operating on phantom power (9–52 V DC, ~2 mA), the PRO 49QL maintains consistent performance with mixers, DSPs, and installed systems across venues.
 
Engineered to the same specifications as the shorter PRO49Q, this 16.46" (418 mm) model extends reach for lecterns and racks that sit farther from the talker. The integrated 3-pin XLR base preserves clean, low-impedance output and minimizes clutter compared to cabled goosenecks. Core specs include a 70 Hz–16 kHz frequency response, −37 dB (14.1 mV) sensitivity, 100-ohm output impedance, 134 dB max SPL (1% THD), 106 dB dynamic range, and 66 dB signal-to-noise ratio—ample headroom for articulate speech with strong rejection of room noise. Physical dimensions are 0.47" (12.0 mm) head diameter and 0.74" (18.9 mm) base diameter, with a light 80 g mass that pairs well with desktop bases and panel mounts. The included AT8146 windscreen controls breath noise and plosives for close-in use. For integrators and rental inventories, the PRO 49QL’s XLR gooseneck form factor, lectern microphone ergonomics, and podium microphone clarity make it a dependable, budget-savvy choice that simply drops into existing XLR infrastructure.
