Last year at the NAMM Show, we introduced you to a revolutionary concept in sound engineering: the ATA 5@7 microphone prototype. Thanks to your feedback and months of rigorous development, we are thrilled to announce that the ATA 5@7 is now in its final version and ready for its official launch on April 8, 2025.
I’ve spent decades immersed in bands and performances, owned and operated a recording studio and managed a guitar amplifier manufacturer. I have always been in pursuit of the perfect sound. I believe; you – like me, aspire to craft the finest auditory experience possible. Have you ever stumbled upon the elusive sweet spot—a microphone placement where you discover a perfect sound? A tone from the ether that your muse delivered from across the universe? How do you recreate this sound once you stumble upon it? You yearn to keep it, rediscover it for your next recording or performance – only to find yourself relying on memory or guesswork – nothing exact.
Enter the ATA 5@7: a game-changer in the world of sound engineering. Until now, achieving such precision was impossible; yet with the ATA 5@7, you can document and replicate your ideal sound in three-dimensional space. What sets the 5@7 apart from all other microphones is its revolutionary patented laser positioning system. Utilizing an irregular triple laser array, it projects three distinct dots, pinpointing the microphone’s position with precision across six degrees of movement: X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, and yaw. Now, marking and finding that elusive sweet spot again is effortless. You can now control your signature sound for life!
The 5@7 is a rugged low-impedance dynamic microphone that can handle high sound pressure levels and is perfect for drums and amplified guitar cabinets, yet can be used on just about any instrument . The 5@7’s directional cardioid pick-up pattern is superb at isolating the sound source and rejecting unwanted background noise. Professional quality and versatility for live performances and recording.
This isn’t just a microphone—it’s a paradigm shift. From studio to stage, it promises to redefine the approach you can take to sound engineering. Once you’ve experienced the ATA 5@7, going back to any other similar dynamic microphone will feel like a step backward. Embrace the future of sound with the ATA 5@7. Your music deserves nothing less than the best – which means – Your sound! When you want it! For life!
Come see the 5@7 at booth 14020 / Hall ACC North at the NAMM Show! The ATA 5@7 will be launching on April 8th, 2025. Stay tuned.
Sincerely,
Darren Atkinson
