The AE2500 is the ultimate kick-drum mic with a revolutionary dual-element design represents a groundbreaking transducer achievement.
Features:
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 2 separate microphones
Robust design for enduring dependability on the road
Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10dB pad on condenser element
