Audio Technica AT5045P Condenser Mic Stereo Pair

Studio Instrument MicrophonesThe AT5045P is two of Audio-Technica’s premier condenser instrument microphones in a stereo pair pack. Offering the performance of a large-diaphragm, side-address condenser in a convenient, stick-type body, the AT5045, despite the space limitations imposed by its housing,boasts Audio-Technica’s largest single diaphragm. The instrument microphone’s circuitry has been honed to the essentials, allowing the AT5045 to achieve an unprecedented dynamic range that’s one of the widest of any microphone on the market.

100% quality controlEvery AT5045 is hand assembled and individually inspected for 100% quality control. Each microphone is enclosed in an elegant housing of aluminum and brass with a high-quality gray finish for durability and low reflectivity.

Discrete components have been selected for optimized performance. The circuitry and capsule assembly are mounted as a single block within a floating internal shock mount, effectively decoupling the capsule from the microphone body for excellent vibration isolation. In fact, every aspect of the microphone has been carefully considered to minimize any negative effects on the audio signal.

The AT5045P stereo pair pack comes with two AT5045 instrument mics, two of Audio-Technica’s innovative AT8481 isolation clamps, two AT8165 windscreens and a protective carrying case that holds a both AT5045 microphones.

Available as a single microphone (AT5045) or as a stereo pair (AT5045P).
