After meticulous design and engineering, the Audio-Technica AE-3000 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Instrument Microphone emerges as a professional-grade audio recording tool, perfect for capturing a wide array of instruments with high transient response. This includes guitar cabinets, drums, and percussion signals, all of which are reproduced with remarkable accuracy, devoid of noise and distortion.
The AE-3000's capsule is equipped with a cardioid polar pattern, a feature that effectively minimizes noise from off-axis sections of the capsule. This results in a high gain-before-feedback response and significantly reduces ambient noise, ensuring a clean, clear audio capture.
To further enhance its audio quality, this versatile microphone comes with a high-pass filter switch, designed to eliminate noise below 80Hz. This feature is particularly useful in reducing unwanted low-frequency sounds and background hum, ensuring that your recordings are as clean and clear as possible.
In addition, the AE-3000 is equipped with a 10dB Pad, which increases headroom when capturing signals at close proximity or at excessive levels. This feature allows for greater flexibility in recording different types of instruments and sound sources, from soft acoustic strings to powerful electric guitars.
The AE-3000 microphone operates via an external 11V to 52V phantom power source, making it compatible with a wide range of audio equipment. This high-quality, durable, and reliable microphone is part of Audio-Technica's Artist Elite series, renowned for its superior sound quality and robust build.
Whether you're recording in a professional studio or capturing live performances, the Audio-Technica AE-3000 Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Instrument Microphone delivers exceptional sound fidelity, making it an indispensable tool for any audio recording setup.
