Audio-Technica AE5400 Reviews
Perform a in system tune
By Rick
Rated 5 out of 5

Love how they manage to maintain a smooth frequency response when held close up or away from vocal range. I own three and plans are to purchase seven more. Please make sure you tune them well with your monitors and feed back will be cut to very little or none at all when they are turned toward the monitors.
place floor monitors and mics carefully

In response to the previous review. The mic has a small back lobe. If the mic is on the stand or held in such a way that the back of the mic points at the monitors that's a great way to get feedback. Keeping the mic parallel to the floor and not pointed at the monitors works wonders. The EQ on this mic lets you roll off the low end if you have users who like to eat the mic. Great capsule. Nicely engineered.
