Audio Technica AE2500 Dual-element Microphone
The dynamic element delivers the aggressive attack of the beater while the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell. The elements are positioned in a perfect phase relationship, which is practically unachievable with 2 separate mics. Robust design provides enduring dependability on the road. Features an integral 80Hz HPF switch and a 10dB pad. Includes the new AT8471 isolation clamp.
The ultimate kick-drum mic, the Artist Elite AE2500 dual-element instrument microphone features cardioid condenser and dynamic capsules combined in one housing. The dynamic element delivers the aggressive attack of the beater; the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell. Two layers of resistive mesh form multiple densities over the dynamic element's side-entry ports, exercising precise control over the time at which off-axis signals arrive at the diaphragm. The condenser diaphragm is optimally tensioned and aged for long-term consistency and stability.
