Multipurpose condenser microphone with studio quality sound.

Whether used as a choir mic or for percussion, guitar, strings and other acoustic instruments, your music’s energy deserves the uncompromising sound quality that the Audio Technica AE5100 microphone delivers – even more affordably than you’d expect!

The Audio-Technica AE5100 offers a large-diaphragm capsule that delivers an accurate, natural response, yet its robust, low-profile design allows for innovative placement options. This instrument microphone provides uncompromising sound quality for overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, strings and other acoustic instruments. With rich, warm, accurate sound, the AE5100 also incorporates the most essential ingredients for quality live sound in a choir microphone. Its large-diaphragm capsule delivers accurate, natural response, while its low-profile design permits innovative placement options. With a lower profile than the large studio microphones to which it compares sonically, the AE5100 offers an outstanding performance-to-size ratio. With its low noise and smooth response, the AE5100 is ideal for recording, too.

AE5100 Features:
  • Large-diaphragm capsule on the AE5100 delivers accurate and natural response
  • Low-profile design permits innovative placement of the AE5100 options previously unattainable with a large-diaphragm condenser
  • Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving the AE5100's isolation of the desired sound source
  • The AE5100 robust design for enduring dependability on the road
  • This cardioid condenser microphone includes isolation clamp for shock protection, secure mounting and easy positioning
  • Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad located on the mic itself
Applications for the Audio-Technica Artist Elite AE5100
  • Choir Microphone
    • Mount the mics on tall boom stands in front of the choir. This always works best with a stage riser. Use 3 or 4 AE5100 for a small to mid sized choir of 12 to 24 members. See more about miking a choir.
  • Acoustic Guitar Microphone
    • Mount the AE5100 on a boom stand and position @ the 12th fret and aim back toward the sound hole. You may need to use an equalizer to remove some of the low mid frequencies to taste and watch the gain if using live.
  • Drum Overhead Microphones
    • Mount (2) AE5100 microphones on (2) boom stands in front of the drum set aim down toward the left and right front of the kit. Try to get as high above the kit as possible to even out the different distances of the cymbals, toms and even the snare that will end up in the overheads. Remember the overhead mics are the most critical drum mics in the mix if used correctly.
