Audio-Technica AE-3000 Overview

The AE3000 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone from Audio-Technica is a large-diaphragm side-address microphone designed for capturing instruments rich in transient response. Guitar cabinets, drums, and percussion signals are accurately reproduced without noise and distortion. The capsule features a cardioid polar pattern which effectively minimizes noise at the off-axis sections of the capsule, providing high gain-before-feedback response and minimal ambient noise. A high-pass filter switch eliminates noise below 80 Hz and a -10 dB pad increases headroom when capturing signals at close proximity or at high levels. The microphone is powered by an external 11 to 52V phantom power source.

Suitable for high-SPL applications
The large-diaphragm capsule combines with the open architecture of the headcase to provide an accurate and open sound
Low-profile side-address design with a tapered grille allows for optimal positioning of the element in conjunction with your sound source
Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
Durable design for dependability on the road
Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and -10 dB pad
