Product Details

Product Features

The Audio-Technica AE2500 combines a condenser and a dynamic element in a single cardioid housing, designed primarily for kick drum. The dynamic element captures the attack of the beater while the condenser picks up the round tone of the shell, and both are positioned in a fixed phase relationship that is very hard to achieve with two separate microphones.

The microphone uses a 5-pin XLR connector and ships with a 5 m dual-output cable that splits the two elements to two standard 3-pin XLR outputs for separate channels.

Key Features:

  • Condenser and dynamic elements in one cardioid housing
  • Elements positioned in a fixed phase relationship
  • Dynamic element for beater attack, condenser for shell tone
  • Condenser element has 80 Hz high-pass filter and 10 dB pad
  • Condenser handles 148 dB SPL (158 dB SPL with pad)
  • Includes 5 m cable with two 3-pin XLRM outputs
  • Robust Artist Elite construction for touring
