Audio Technica AE5100 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone

The Artist Elite AE5100 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser instrument microphone that provides uncompromising sound quality for acoustic sources. It shines on overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, strings, and other detailed instruments, where its rich, warm, accurate voicing captures the natural character of the source.

The large-diaphragm capsule delivers detail and headroom for demanding acoustic material. The cardioid pattern isolates the instrument and rejects bleed from a live stage or busy tracking room. Rugged Artist Elite construction makes it dependable for both studio sessions and touring. It runs on 48V phantom power over a standard 3-pin XLR output, integrating easily into any professional rig.
