Audio-Technica AE5100 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Capture Every Detail
The Artist Elite® AE5100 large diaphragm cardioid condenser instrument microphone sets a new standard in sound quality for capturing overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, strings, and other acoustic instruments. Its ability to deliver rich, warm, and accurate sound makes it a versatile tool not only for live performances but also for recording applications where clarity and detail are paramount.

Designed for Discretion
With its low-profile design, the AE5100 breaks new ground in microphone placement options, allowing for innovative positioning that was previously unattainable with large-diaphragm condensers. This design feature, coupled with its exceptional performance-to-size ratio, makes the AE5100 a prime choice for artists and sound engineers who demand quality without compromise.

Unrivaled Sound Isolation
The AE5100's cardioid polar pattern is engineered to reduce the pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, significantly improving the isolation of the desired sound source. This characteristic is crucial for capturing the pure essence of the performance, whether in a live setting or a studio environment.

Durability Meets Versatility
Robust in design and built for the road, the AE5100 promises enduring dependability. Its integral 80 Hz high-pass filter switch and 10 dB pad enhance its versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. From delicate string sections to powerful percussion ensembles, the AE5100 delivers with reliability and finesse.
