Audio-Technica AT5045: Premier Condenser Instrument Mic for Studio Excellence
Unleash Your Studio Sound
The AT5045 is Audio-Technica's top-notch condenser instrument microphone. It's available as a single mic or a stereo pair. This stick-type beauty offers the performance of a large-diaphragm, side-address condenser in a compact body. Despite its housing limitations, it has Audio-Technica's largest single diaphragm. The circuitry is refined for an amazing dynamic range, one of the widest on the market.
Impeccable Quality Assurance
Every AT5045 is hand assembled and individually inspected for 100% quality. It comes in an elegant aluminum and brass housing with a high-quality gray finish for durability and low reflectivity. Discrete components are chosen for optimal performance. The circuitry and capsule assembly are mounted in a floating internal shock mount, isolating the capsule from the body for great vibration isolation. Every aspect is carefully considered to protect the audio signal.
Versatile and Feature-Rich
The AT5045 comes with Audio-Technica's innovative AT8481 isolation clamp, an AT8165 windscreen, and a protective carrying case. It's available as a single mic (AT5045) or a stereo pair (AT5045P).
