Marketing Information |
The ultimate kick-drum mic, the Artist
Elite AE2500 dual-element instrument microphone features cardioid
condenser and dynamic capsules combined in one housing. The dynamic
element delivers the aggressive attack of the beater; the condenser
captures the round tonalities of the shell. Two layers of resistive mesh
form multiple densities over the dynamic element’s side-entry ports,
exercising precise control over the time at which off-axis signals
arrive at the diaphragm. The condenser diaphragm is optimally tensioned
and aged for long-term consistency and stability. |
Features |

aggressive attack of the beater while the condenser captures the
round tonalities of the shell
- Elements are positioned in a
perfect phase relationship, something practically unachievable with
two separate microphones
- Robust design for enduring
dependability on the road
- Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10
dB pad on condenser element
- Includes isolation clamp for shock
protection, secure mounting and easy positioning
- Includes a 16.5' (5 m) cable
(5-pin XLRF to two standard 3-pin XLRM connectors) for separate
control over each element
