Audio-Technica AE-5400/LE Condenser Handheld Microphone
The Audio-Technica AE-5400/LE Condenser Handheld Microphone is a custom version of the coveted AE-5400 handheld microphone, commemorating 50 years of quality microphones from Audio-Technica. The AE-5400/LE features a custom silver metallic finish, etched serial number and ships in a wooden case.
The microphone brings studio grade sonic quality and performance to the stage. This large diaphragm condenser microphone features the same element found in the famed AT4050 studio microphone. Primarily designed for vocal capturing the wide, linear frequency response renders the microphone more than adequate to perform in a variety of applications.
The cardioid polar pattern features a uniform frequency response and optimum rejection at the off-axis sections of the capsule. The result is excellent rejection of noise and feedback. The large diaphragm condenser element handles high Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) resulting in maximum protection against noise and distortion. The AE-5400/LE is a collectors edition and a viable choice for stage performances, speech and broadcast applications.
