AT5045 Pair Overview
The Audio-Technica AT5045 is a cardioid condenser instrument microphone that delivers the performance of a large-diaphragm, side-address condenser in a compact, stick-style design. Built with a durable aluminum and brass enclosure for low reflectivity, it features discrete components for optimized sound quality. Its capsule and circuitry are mounted as a single block within a floating internal shockmount, effectively isolating it from vibrations. With a transformer-coupled output, ultra-low noise, and the ability to handle up to 149 dB SPL, the AT5045 offers a wide frequency response (20 Hz – 20 kHz) and an impressive 141 dB dynamic range. Ideal for recording percussion, drums, acoustic guitar, strings, and other acoustic instruments, it comes with an isolation clamp, windscreen, and a protective carrying case.
