Audio Technica AE5400 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Artist Elite AE5400 is a cardioid condenser handheld vocal microphone that delivers the pristine sound quality demanded by the most discriminating performers. Its large-diaphragm condenser element gives a vocal the detail, presence, and natural top end a dynamic cannot match. The cardioid pattern rejects monitor and PA bleed to help control feedback on a loud stage.

Rugged construction and an internal shock mount keep handling noise low so the audience hears the voice, not the grip. It is at home fronting a band, in a house of worship, or on a broadcast stage where vocal quality is paramount. It runs on 48V phantom power over a standard 3-pin XLR output and ships with the AT8470 Quiet-Flex stand clamp, a 5/8-inch to 3/8-inch adapter, and a protective pouch.
