Description

The Audio-Technica AT5045 Studio Instrument Microphone Pair is designed for capturing detailed, natural sound from acoustic instruments in professional studio and live-sound settings. With a side-address stick design and cardioid pickup pattern, these microphones are well suited for stereo recording setups such as drum overheads, acoustic guitar, strings, percussion, piano, and other instruments where clarity and placement matter. 

Each microphone delivers a pure, realistic tone with fast response, low noise, and the ability to handle loud sound sources with confidence. The cardioid pattern helps focus on the performance while reducing unwanted room sound and bleed from nearby instruments, making the pair especially useful when recording ensembles or building a clean stereo image.

The microphones include secure isolation clamps, windscreens, and a protective hard-shell case with space for one or two microphones. Hand assembled and housed in durable aluminum and brass, the AT5045 pair offers a refined recording solution for musicians, engineers, and studios looking for dependable instrument microphones with a polished, professional feel.
