The Audio Technica AT5045 Microphone is Audio Technica’s premier condenser instrument microphone, offering the performance of a large-diaphragm, side-address condenser in a convenient, stick-type body.

The Audio Technica AT5045 Microphone in fact, despite the space limitations imposed by its housing, the 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. Every 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.

What We Think

avatar

The Audio Technica AT5045 Microphone is a superb microphone. The fullness and depth is equal to the detail and clarity. The most surprising thing is the transient response and detail. Even on something like an acoustic guitar, the percussive detail of the interaction between the string and pick, and hands and body really become musically defined. This further translates to drum overheads, creating a life-like definition. Though with the musical and natural character of the mic, and it actually being a large diaphragm - it is even great on vocals (despite being marketed as an instrument mic). This is one to pay attention to.
