Audio Technica AE2300 Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

Description

Audio-Technica Artist Elite AE2300 is a cardioid dynamic instrument microphone engineered for high-SPL sources and detailed instrument capture. Using Audio-Technica’s proprietary double-dome diaphragm construction, the AE2300 delivers high-frequency clarity and fast transient response that goes beyond what typical dynamic microphones can achieve—making it a strong choice for guitar amps, brass, woodwinds, drums, and percussion.

Built to maintain consistent directionality across its full frequency range, the AE2300 introduces only minimal off-axis coloration (with response remaining nearly consistent at 0°, 90°, and 180°). This helps preserve phase cohesion in multi-mic setups—ideal for complex stage or studio instrument miking.

For added control in real-world environments, the AE2300 includes a switchable low-pass filter designed to reduce harsh, high-frequency hiss (such as guitar amp noise or hi-hat bleed into a snare) without compromising an instrument’s overall tone. Its rugged, low-profile body makes placement easy and unobtrusive, while the brass metal construction supports dependable performance in live applications.
