Audio-Technica AE2300 Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

Part of Audio-Technica's Artist Elite® Series, the AE2300 cardioid instrument microphone features A-T’s proprietary double-dome diaphragm construction to maintain directionality across the entire frequency range, providing high-frequency (HF) and transient response that far exceeds typical dynamic microphones while introducing only the slightest off-axis coloration (frequency response is nearly identical at 0°, 90° and 180°) for exceptional phase cohesion in multiple-mic setups. It's also equipped with a switchable low-pass filter that cuts out harsh, HF noise, such as hiss from a guitar amp or high-hat bleed into the snare, without negatively affecting the overall tone of an instrument – an especially useful tool when used in live settings to get a clear, focused sound.

A versatile performer with a rugged, low-profile design and the ability to handle high SPLs, the AE2300 is able to capture sound from guitar amps, brass and woodwinds, drums and percussion instruments with equal clarity and precision.
