The Audio-Technica AE2500 is a condenser and a dynamic microphone. It is one of the higher end microphones from Audio-Technica and comes with a hefty price tag of 550 USD. It is said to be one of the best kick drum microphones out.

The Audio Technica AE2500 is a very unique microphone that is to be used in the recording studio only. The mic is a dual element microphone, meaning that it has both a dynamic and a condenser capsule inside of it.

- What type of microphone? (Voice, sound, mixed ..) Bass drum mic but can do other things too, 16Khz bandwidth of 20 ... very hollow.

Micro double capsule, a static and a dynamic pluttdstin the sound of bass drum. Nice finish, substantial weight and reassuring concept simple and effective.
