AUDIO TECHNICA – AE2500 DUAL-ELEMENT INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE

Hire
  • $18.00

Features:

  • Revolutionary dual-element design represents a ground-breaking transducer achievement
  • Two elements (condenser and dynamic) are enclosed in a single housing
  • Dynamic element delivers the aggressive attack of the beater while the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell
  • Elements are positioned in a perfect phase relationship, something practically unachievable with two separate microphones
  • Robust design for enduring dependability on the road
  • Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad on condenser element
  • Includes isolation clamp for shock protection, secure mounting and easy positioning
  • Includes a 16.5′ (5 m) cable (5-pin XLRF to two standard 3-pin XLRM connectors) for separate control over each element

Specifications:

  • Polar Pattern: Cardioid
  • Frequency Response: 20-17,000 Hz (condenser) 30-10,000 Hz (dynamic)
  • Low Frequency Roll Off: 80 Hz, 12 dB/octave (condenser)
  • Open Circuit Sensitivity: -51 dB (2.8 mV) re 1V at 1 Pa (condenser) -54 dB (1.9 mV) re 1V at 1 Pa (dynamic)
  • Impedance: 100 ohms (condenser) 600 ohms (dynamic)
  • Maximum Input Sound Level: 148 dB SPL, 1 kHz at 1% T.H.D. (condenser); 158 dB SPL, with 10 dB pad (nominal)
  • Dynamic Range: 124 dB, 1 kHz at Max SPL (condenser)
  • Signal to Noise Ratio: 70 dB, 1 kHz at 1 Pa (condenser)
  • Phantom Power Requirements: 11-52V DC, 3 mA typical (condenser)
  • Weight: 13.8 oz (390 g)
  • Dimensions: 6.50″ (165.0 mm) long, 2.17″ (55.0 mm) maximum diameter
  • Output Connector: Integral 5-pin XLRM-type
  • Cable: 16.5′ (5 m) dual shielded, 8-conductor cable, 5-pin XLRF-type connector at microphone, two 3-pin XLRM-type output connectors
  • Accessories: AT8471 isolation clamp for 5/8″-27 threaded stands; 5/8″-27 to 3/8″-16 threaded adapter; soft protective pouch

AUDIO TECHNICA – AE2500 DUAL-ELEMENT INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE

The ultimate kick-drum mic, the Artist Elite AE2500 dual-element instrument microphone features cardioid condenser and dynamic capsules combined in one housing. The dynamic element delivers the aggressive attack of the beater; the condenser captures the round tonalities of the shell. Two layers of resistive mesh form multiple densities over the dynamic element’s side-entry ports, exercising precise control over the time at which off-axis signals arrive at the diaphragm. The condenser diaphragm is optimally tensioned and aged for long-term consistency and stability.
