Audio Technica AE2500 Dual Element Cardioid Dynamic and Condenser Microphone

Audio Technica AE2500 Dual Element Cardioid Dynamic and Condenser Microphone
The ultimate kick-drum mic! Revolutionary dual-element design (condenser and dynamic in a single housing) captures the complete sound of the kick drum. The 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. Highlights: Robust design for enduring dependability on the road; Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad; Includes the AT8471 isolation clamp and a 16.5' (5 m) cable (5-pin XLRF to two standard 3-pin XLRM connectors) for separate control over each element.
