An Instrument Microphone Designed for Precision Without Compromising Reliability
The AE2300 was developed with a simple idea: to provide a clear and controlled capture of instrumental sources while remaining perfectly comfortable in demanding stage conditions. Its design emphasizes cardioid directivity and high sound pressure level handling, two key points when isolating an amp, snare drum, toms, or brass instruments in a noisy environment. Its robust metal construction and compact design make it a relevant choice when placement space is limited, while maintaining a professional and durable feel.
For Which Instruments and Musicians?
The AE2300 is aimed at guitarists, drummers, sound engineers, and stage technicians who want an effective microphone that is quick to position and easy to "manage" in a mix. It is designed for capturing guitar amps, brass and woodwinds, percussion, and drum kits, with the same focus on clarity and precision. Thanks to its cardioid directivity, it favors sound arriving directly in front of the capsule: you get better source separation, reduced unwanted bleed, and improved monitor control, particularly useful on loud stages.

Questions frequently asked
Is the AE2300 suitable for miking a guitar amp?
Its dynamic cardioid capsule is designed for capturing guitar amps in high-volume stage environments. The compact 95.6 mm size facilitates placement close to the speaker.
What is the effect of the 6 kHz low-pass filter?
The switch offers either a flat response or a low-pass filter attenuation at 6,000 Hz with a slope of 6 dB/octave. It helps to smooth out excessive brightness or pronounced high harmonics.
Is this mic suitable for snare and toms?
The cardioid pattern helps isolate the targeted source and reduces bleed from nearby kit elements. The supplied AT8471 shock mount minimizes mechanical noise from stand mounting. The metal construction is designed for demanding stage conditions.
What is the frequency response of the Audio Technica AE2300 microphone?
The specified frequency response ranges from 60 Hz to 20 kHz, with a dual-diaphragm dome aimed at enhancing transient detail and high frequencies.
What accessories are included with the microphone?
An AT8471 shock mount and a soft protective pouch are included.
