AUDIO-TECHNICA AE2300 Microphone

AUDIO-TECHNICA AE2300 Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

The Audio-Technica AE2300 is a cardioid dynamic instrument microphone from the Artist Elite series, featuring Audio-Technica's proprietary double-dome diaphragm construction that delivers high-frequency and transient response far exceeding typical dynamic microphones. With a rugged, low-profile brass body and the ability to handle very high SPLs, the AE2300 captures guitar cabinets, brass, woodwinds, drums, and percussion instruments with equal clarity. Its frequency response is nearly identical at 0°, 90°, and 180°, making it exceptionally well suited to multi-microphone setups where phase cohesion is critical. A switchable low-pass filter cuts harsh high-frequency hiss without affecting the instrument's overall tone.

Key Features

• Proprietary double-dome diaphragm construction for high-frequency and transient response that far exceeds typical dynamic microphones.
• Maintains consistent directionality across the entire frequency range, with near-identical frequency response at 0°, 90°, and 180° for excellent phase cohesion in multi-mic setups.
• Switchable low-pass filter that removes harsh high-frequency hiss (such as guitar amp hiss or hi-hat bleed) without affecting the instrument's overall tone.
• Low-profile design for easy, unobtrusive placement in cramped miking positions.
• Rugged brass metal construction for long-lasting performance in live music applications.
• AT8471 isolation stand clamp included for versatile mounting and effective mechanical noise dampening.
