Audio-Technica AE2500 Dual Element Cardioid Kick Drum Microphone Bundle

Dual Element Microphone for Precision Kick Drum Capture
The Audio-Technica AE2500 is a dual-element cardioid kick drum microphone engineered to deliver precise, full-bodied sound with unmatched clarity. Combining a dynamic and a condenser capsule in a single housing, this mic captures both the low-end punch and the sharp attack of a bass drum in perfect balance. Whether in the studio or on stage, the AE2500 provides a premium solution for professional audio engineers seeking unmatched kick drum sound.

Dynamic and Condenser Capsules for Versatility
The AE2500 features two independent capsules—a dynamic element for capturing the deep, resonant low frequencies and a condenser element for highlighting the crisp attack. This dual-element design provides a comprehensive tonal representation of the kick drum, eliminating the need for multiple microphones while maintaining phase coherency. Each element has its own output, allowing for independent EQ and processing for tailored sound shaping.

Robust Build for Live and Studio Environments
Designed with durability in mind, the AE2500 features a rugged, road-ready housing that stands up to the rigors of live performances. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures focused sound capture, rejecting unwanted background noise and minimizing bleed from other instruments. Whether you’re using it for a live concert or a high-pressure studio session, the AE2500 consistently delivers reliable performance.

Tailored Frequency Response for Kick Drum Applications
With a frequency response designed specifically for kick drums, the AE2500 reproduces every nuance of the drum's sound, from the deep thud to the sharp beater attack. The result is a balanced, natural sound that sits perfectly in any mix. Its versatility extends beyond kick drums, making it a great option for other low-frequency instruments like floor toms and bass cabinets.

Convenient Accessories for Professional Use
The AE2500 comes bundled with essential accessories to enhance usability. The MS7411TB tripod-style mic stand provides stable support during performances or recording sessions. A high-quality XLR cable ensures secure and reliable signal transmission, while the compact design makes the microphone easy to position in tight spaces.
