Audio Technica AE3000 Instrument Microphone
The AE3000 is designed to take the highest sound pressure levels encountered on stage - from such sources as guitar cabinets, toms, snare, tympani and overheads while still delivering superb, uncolored performance, thanks to an open-architecture headcase and large-diaphragm condenser capsule. The microphone features an innovative small-format side-address design with a tapered grille for optimum placement versatility. Features
Excels in high-SPL applications such as guitar cabinets, toms, snare, timpani and overheads
Large-diaphragm capsule combines with the open architecture of the headcase to provide an extremely accurate and open sound
Low-profile side-address design with tapered grille allows optimal positioning of element vis-à-vis sound source
Robust design for enduring dependability on the road
Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad
Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source An integral 80 Hz hi-pass filter provides easy switching from a flat frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces the microphone’s sensitivity to popping in close vocal use. It also reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically-coupled vibrations. The AE3000 includes an AT8471 isolation clamp to provide secure mounting, versatile positioning, and effective dampening of unwanted mechanical noise. Uncompromising sound quality for overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, strings and other acoustic instruments. Large-diaphragm capsule delivers accurate and natural response. Low-profile design permits innovative placement options previously unattainable with a large-diaphragm condenser. Robust design for enduring dependability on the road.
