DESCRIPTION

−

Audio-Technica's AE5400 is a premium large-diaphragm condenser microphone engineered for demanding live vocal applications. Built around a precision-crafted dual-diaphragm capsule element, this microphone delivers the studio-grade clarity and detail that discerning vocalists and front-of-house engineers expect, without sacrificing the ruggedness required for night-after-night touring and live performance use.

The cardioid polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection, minimising stage bleed and maximising gain-before-feedback in challenging monitoring environments. A switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter tackles proximity effect and low-frequency rumble, while the 10 dB pad extends the microphone's already impressive maximum SPL handling to 158 dB — ensuring clean, distortion-free capture even from the most powerful vocalists.

  • Large-diaphragm true condenser capsule for exceptional transient response and vocal articulation
  • Cardioid polar pattern with superior off-axis rejection for high-gain stage applications
  • Switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter to reduce handling noise and stage rumble
  • Switchable 10 dB pad for handling extreme SPL levels up to 158 dB
  • Frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 kHz for full-range vocal reproduction
  • Requires 11–52V DC phantom power
  • Rugged metal construction with gold-plated XLRM-type output connector

Ideal for houses of worship, touring productions, and premium installed sound environments, the AE5400 bridges the gap between studio fidelity and live performance reliability.
