For a truly professional microphone that provides excellent sound and build quality with low handling noise, many vocalists look to the AE3300 from Audio-Technica. The AE3300 features the same element as the high-end AT4033 studio condenser microphone, but the rest of it is all built specifically for live use. The goal is to bring a clean, studio sounding vocal to the stage and the AT3300 hits it right on the money.

Features:

• Exceptional performance for exceptional performers
• Same element as the classic AT4033 studio microphone
• Well-tempered polar pattern with outstanding rejection qualities
• Superior anti-shock engineering ensures low handling noise and quiet performance
• High-quality double-sided PCB uses surface-mount components. Extensive grounding plane and attention to best-practice grounding methods minimize electrical noise
• Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
• Multi-stage grille design offers excellent protection against plosives and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity
• Robust all-metal design for enduring dependability on the road
• Quiet-Flex™ stand clamp provides silent, flexible microphone positioning
• Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad
