DESCRIPTION

−

The Audio-Technica AE3000 is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone engineered for demanding instrument applications in both live sound and studio environments. Featuring a precision-machined cardioid capsule, the AE3000 delivers exceptional detail, warmth, and transient response across a wide frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Purpose-built for high-SPL sources, this microphone handles up to 148 dB SPL, making it an outstanding choice for close-miking guitar cabinets, toms, snare, brass, and percussion. The large-diaphragm element captures the full body and dynamics of instruments with remarkable accuracy, while the tight cardioid pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection to minimise stage bleed in dense monitor environments.

  • Large-diaphragm condenser capsule for detailed, full-range instrument capture
  • Cardioid polar pattern with superior off-axis rejection
  • 148 dB maximum SPL handling for high-output sources
  • Switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter for proximity effect control
  • 10 dB pad for additional headroom flexibility
  • Rugged metal construction designed to withstand touring and installed environments

With its versatile performance and roadworthy build quality, the AE3000 is a reliable workhorse for professional engineers seeking studio-grade clarity on stage. An excellent addition to any microphone inventory for live production, houses of worship, and permanent install applications.
