High-Quality Sound Capture: The AT5045 stands out with its premier condenser design, delivering pure and realistic sound quality. It excels in capturing the detailed nuances of overheads, percussion, acoustic guitars, strings, and other acoustic instruments. The stick-design body features an expansive diaphragm surface area compared to traditional large-diaphragm microphones, enhancing sound capture capabilities and providing superior audio fidelity.

Advanced Internal Shock Mounting: The microphone incorporates advanced internal shock mounting, which effectively decouples the capsule from the microphone body. This design minimizes vibrations and unwanted noise, ensuring clear and accurate sound reproduction. The floating shock mount is crucial for maintaining audio integrity, particularly in dynamic studio environments.

Durable and Elegant Construction: Each AT5045 is handcrafted with a focus on durability and aesthetic appeal. The housing is made from a combination of aluminum and brass, providing both strength and low reflectivity. This construction ensures that the microphone is robust enough for rigorous use while maintaining a sleek, professional appearance.

Transformer-Coupled Output: The transformer-coupled output of the AT5045 is optimized to deliver a smooth sonic character. This feature contributes to the microphone’s ability to handle high sound pressure levels while maintaining clarity and detail in the audio signal.

Innovative Mounting and Accessories: The microphone includes the AT8481 isolation clamp, which provides secure mounting and versatile positioning. Additionally, the AT8165 windscreen helps to reduce plosive sounds and mechanical noise. The microphone comes with a custom hard-shell carrying case that accommodates one or two microphones, ensuring safe transport and storage.

Quality Control and Versatility: Each AT5045 undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure it meets Audio-Technica’s high standards. The microphone is available as a single unit (AT5045) or as a stereo pair (AT5045P), catering to various recording needs and providing reliable performance in both studio and live settings.
