The Audio-Technica AE2500 Dual-Element Kick Drum Microphone is the ultimate tool for drummers and sound engineers seeking a powerful, precise, and versatile microphone for kick drums. Combining two elements — a cardioid condenser and a dynamic capsule — in a single housing, this groundbreaking design captures the full spectrum of your kick drum sound.
The dynamic element brings out the aggressive attack of the beater, while the condenser capsule captures the warm, round tonalities of the drum shell. The elements are positioned in perfect phase relationship, providing the clarity and depth of sound that’s nearly impossible to achieve with two separate microphones. Whether you're recording or performing live, the AE2500 delivers an unparalleled balance of attack and resonance.
Key Features:
- Dual-Element Design: Condenser and dynamic capsules combined in one housing for unparalleled sound capture.
- Aggressive Attack & Round Tonality: Dynamic element delivers the beater's attack, while the condenser captures the tonal richness of the drum shell.
- Perfect Phase Relationship: Achieves optimal phase alignment, something rarely attainable with separate microphones.
- 80 Hz HPF & 10 dB Pad: Controls low-end frequencies and reduces distortion from high SPLs for a cleaner sound.
- Roadworthy Design: Built for durability and consistent performance, ideal for touring musicians and studio use.
- Isolation Clamp Included: Provides shock protection, secure mounting, and easy positioning for optimal placement.
- 16.5' (5 m) Cable: Includes a specialized cable (5-pin XLRF to two 3-pin XLRM connectors) for individual control over each element.
Whether you're looking for clarity, power, or both, the Audio-Technica AE2500 dual-element microphone provides a groundbreaking solution for capturing the perfect kick drum sound every time.
