Awesome Mic for Kick Drums!
The AE2500 features Audio-Technica's one-of-a-kind dual-element design. This revolutionary concept combines condenser and dynamic capsules within one housing, positioned in a perfect phase relationship - something that would be nearly impossible to accomplish with separate microphones! Ideal for kick/bass drum jobs, the microphone will survive extreme SPLs while providing uncompromising audio quality. The AE2500's dynamic element cleanly captures the attack transients of the beater, while the condenser element renders the internal tonalities of the shell and the instrument as a whole.
Features:- Dynamic element delivers the aggressive attack of the beater while the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell
- Two elements (condenser and dynamic) are enclosed in one housing
- Elements are positioned in a perfect phase relationship, something practically unachievable with two separate microphones
- Includes a 16.5' (5 m) cable (5-pin XLRF to two standard 3-pin XLRM connectors) for separate control over each element
- Built-in 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad on condenser element
- The ultimate kick-drum microphone
- Revolutionary dual-element design represents a ground-breaking transducer achievement
- Robust design for enduring dependability on the road
