AE2500 is part of the professional Artist Elite microphone series from Audio-Technica. The AE2500 is a dual cardioid microphone that offers excellent clarity and sound quality, specifically designed for bass drum.
The AE2500 is essentially a microphone composed of 2 parts, one with a condenser capsule and the other dynamic, providing the attack of the bass drum hit as well as the resonance of the drum wood, all for an "explosive" sound, calibrated for bass drum.
