Audio-Technica AT5045P Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphones

The Audio-Technica AT5045P Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphones are a pair of top-tier studio microphones that come as a stereo pair pack. Designed to deliver the performance of a large-diaphragm side-address condenser within a sleek stick-type body, these mics offer unparalleled audio quality. Despite the compact design, the AT5045 boasts Audio-Technica’s largest single diaphragm, ensuring impressive sound capture. The circuitry is streamlined to focus on essential components, allowing the microphones to achieve one of the widest dynamic ranges available today.

Ideal for recording overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, strings, and other acoustic instruments, the AT5045P offers pure and realistic sound. The side-address design provides more diaphragm surface area than most traditional large-diaphragm microphones, ensuring a robust audio capture. Hand-built and inspected to ensure 100% quality control, the AT5045P is built for durability with an aluminum and brass housing. Additionally, it features advanced internal shock mounting to decouple the capsule from the mic body, reducing unwanted mechanical noise.
