Audio-Technica AE3000 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone
The Audio-Technica AE3000 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone is designed for professionals who demand pristine sound quality, even at extreme sound pressure levels (SPLs). Whether you're miking guitar cabinets, toms, snare drums, timpani, horns, or overheads, this high-SPL large-diaphragm cardioid condenser mic delivers exceptional performance. The large-diaphragm capsule, combined with the unique open architecture of the headcase, ensures an accurate and open sound, which is essential for capturing the best audio in any setting. The low-profile side-address design, coupled with a tapered grille, allows for optimal positioning and precise audio capture.
The robust design of the AE3000 ensures enduring dependability, making it a reliable choice for any professional setting. Additionally, the cardioid polar pattern reduces the pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving the isolation of the desired sound source. The integral 80 Hz high-pass filter (HPF) switch and 10 dB pad further enhance its versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether you are in the studio or on the road, the AE3000 provides the performance and dependability you need.
