DESCRIPTION

−

Audio-Technica AE5100 — a large-diaphragm condenser microphone from the acclaimed Artist Elite series, engineered to deliver exceptional clarity and transient detail on stage and in the studio. Its precision-machined cardioid capsule features a low-mass diaphragm that captures fast transients with remarkable accuracy, making it an outstanding choice for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, strings, and a wide range of percussion instruments.

The AE5100 handles high sound pressure levels up to 148 dB SPL, ensuring clean, distortion-free performance even in demanding live sound environments. A wide frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz provides full-spectrum reproduction with natural, uncoloured tone that translates effortlessly across any mix.

  • Large-diaphragm condenser element with low-mass diaphragm for superior transient response
  • Cardioid polar pattern for effective off-axis rejection and focused pickup
  • 148 dB maximum SPL handling for high-output sources without distortion
  • Compact, lightweight housing ideal for overhead and tight-space placement
  • 11–52V phantom power operation for broad compatibility with mixing consoles and preamps
  • Rugged construction built for touring and permanent installation reliability

Whether deployed as drum overheads in a live touring rig or capturing acoustic instruments in a house-of-worship install, the AE5100 delivers the detail and consistency that professional engineers demand from every microphone position.
