Sleek, detailed, and durable. Meet the Audio Technica AE3000 Artist Elite Condenser Microphone. This premium quality electret microphone will be an indispensable tool in your microphone locker. The AE3000 is designed to excel on sources with high SPL levels.
Because of this, you can ensure that the large diaphragm condenser microphone is the ideal choice for loud, powerful sources such as drums, percussive instruments, and guitar amplifiers. However, it is not a one-trick wonder. The AE3000 is just as comfortable with quiet sources as it is with loud. You can be guaranteed exceptional capture of acoustic instruments such as guitars, pianos, and strings.
Its cardioid polar pattern provides you with a tight, focused capture with ideal rejection of unwanted off-axis sources. Making the AE3000 a great choice for live sound and demanding studio sessions.
Get the sound right at the source. The AE3000’s built-in 10dB pad switch and 80Hz high-pass filter allow you to get the sound right at the source. This is achieved by removing low-frequency build-up and reducing the microphone’s sensitivity when capturing loud sources. You’ll find yourself spending less and less time in post-production thanks to the high quality of the AE3000.
Industry standard for affordable recording. The AE3000 offers an unparalleled cardioid and condenser design, whilst simultaneously providing excellent off-axis rejection and feedback control. Building upon their reputation for providing affordable yet high-quality microphones, Audio Technica is fast becoming the industry standard for optimal audio recording.
