Audio Technica AT5045P Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphones (Stereo Pair)

The AT5045P is a stereo-matched pair of AT5045 cardioid condenser instrument microphones. Each AT5045 uses the largest single diaphragm Audio-Technica builds into a stick-style body, giving it the low noise and detail of a large-diaphragm side-address design in a form factor that is easy to position around a kit or ensemble. The two mics in each pair are factory-verified to tight sensitivity tolerances, so imaging stays locked in whether you set them up X-Y, ORTF, or as a spaced pair.

With a wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz response, an 8 dB SPL noise floor, and 149 dB of SPL handling, the pair holds up on close-mic'd sources as demanding as drum overheads while staying clean and quiet on more delicate acoustic guitar or piano work. Each pair ships complete with two AT8481 isolation clamps, two AT8165 windscreens, and a protective case sized to carry both microphones.
