Audio-Technica AE2500 Microphone

• The Audio-Technica AE2500 is the ultimate kick-drum mic
• Revolutionary dual-element design represents a ground-breaking transducer achievement
• Two elements (condenser and dynamic) are enclosed in a single housing
• Dynamic element delivers the 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 a 16.5' (5 m) cable (5-pin XLRF to two standard 3-pin XLRM connectors) for separate control over each element
