Product Overview

The Artist Elite AE2500 dual-element instrument microphone from Audio-Technica is the ultimate kick-drum mic, featuring cardioid condenser and dynamic capsules combined within a single housing. The condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell, while the dynamic element delivers the aggressive attack of the beater. It comes with 2 layers of resistive mesh that form multiple densities over the dynamic element’s side-entry ports, thus exercising precise control over the time at which off-axis signals arrive at the diaphragm. Additionally, the condenser diaphragm is optimally-tensioned and aged for long-term stability and consistency.

Includes

  • AE2500 dual-element instrument microphone
  • AT8471 isolation clamp for ⅝"-27 threaded stands
  • ⅝"-27 to ⅜"-16 threaded adapter
  • Soft protective pouch

Features

  • Revolutionary dual-element design represents a ground-breaking transducer achievement
  • Two elements (condenser and dynamic) are enclosed in a single housing
  • Dynamic element delivers the aggressive attack of the beater while the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell
  • Elements are positioned in a perfect phase relationship, something practically unachievable with two separate microphones
  • Robust design for enduring dependability on the road
  • Integral 80Hz HPF switch and 10dB pad on condenser element
  • Includes isolation clamp for shock protection, secure mounting and easy positioning
  • Includes a 16.5' (5m) cable (5-pin XLRF to two standard 3-pin XLR-M connectors) for separate control over each element
