Audio-Technica PRO 44 boundary microphone
A cardioid condenser boundary microphone for conference tables and podiums, with self-contained electronics that only need phantom power
- Low-profile design keeps the microphone nearly invisible on conference tables
- Half-space cardioid pattern focuses pickup toward the speaker while rejecting rear noise
- Wide-range condenser element with low-mass diaphragm captures clear, detailed audio
- Self-contained electronics remove the need for separate power modules
- Operates on standard phantom power for simple installed-sound integration
Low-profile boundary microphone for installed sound
The Audio-Technica PRO 44 is a cardioid condenser boundary microphone designed for conference tables, podiums and lecterns. Its half-space unidirectional polar pattern captures speech clearly while rejecting off-axis noise. The low-profile housing keeps the unit discreet in permanent installations. This microphone suits venues that need reliable pickup without visible hardware.
Self-contained electronics remove external modules
All preamplifier circuitry sits inside the microphone body, so no separate power module is required. The wide-range condenser element with a low-mass diaphragm delivers detailed frequency response for voice reproduction. Installation time drops because only a single cable run to a phantom-power source is needed. The design simplifies rack or furniture mounting for integrators.
Rugged construction withstands daily handling
The chassis is built to endure the bumps and adjustments common on conference tables and lecterns. A fixed cardioid pattern means no switches to accidentally change during a session. Phantom power is the only supply requirement, so standard mixing consoles or audio interfaces can drive the unit directly. The microphone stays secure in surface-mount applications.

Questions about this item
Does the PRO 44 need any capsule or battery replacement over time?
The condenser capsule is fixed and has no user-replaceable parts; no battery is used because the microphone runs on external phantom power only.
What limits continuous operation of the PRO 44 during long meetings?
The half-space cardioid pattern and fixed sensitivity mean the practical limit is the acoustic environment — room reflections or gain-before-feedback will constrain usable distance before the microphone itself reaches any electrical limit.
How much heat or noise does the PRO 44 generate when powered all day?
The self-contained electronics draw only phantom-power current, producing no audible self-noise increase and no perceptible heat during extended use.
