DESCRIPTION

−

The Audio-Technica AE2500 is a groundbreaking dual-element cardioid microphone engineered specifically for kick drum and bass instrument applications. By combining a dynamic and a true condenser element within a single housing, this microphone delivers the best of both worlds — the robust low-frequency punch of a dynamic capsule with the detailed transient response and extended high-frequency clarity of a condenser.

Key Features:

  • Dual-element design with one dynamic and one condenser cardioid capsule, precision phase-aligned at the source
  • Eliminates the phase cancellation issues inherent in traditional two-microphone kick drum techniques
  • Two discrete outputs via a 5-pin XLR connector, with an included breakout cable to dual 3-pin XLR for independent signal processing and mixing
  • Condenser element requires 48V phantom power; dynamic element operates passively
  • Rugged, road-ready construction built to withstand the high SPL environments of live stages and touring rigs
  • Versatile application on kick drums, bass guitar cabinets, floor toms, and other low-frequency sources

For front-of-house and monitor engineers, the AE2500 provides unmatched flexibility — blend the two elements to sculpt the perfect bass tone without compromise. Whether deployed in a touring fly rig or a permanent install venue, this microphone streamlines workflow while delivering studio-grade results in demanding live sound environments.
