Offering exceptional sound isolation, the hypercardioid polar pattern of the AE6100 has an outstanding on-axis response and maximum feedback rejection. With a hardened steel body and grille, as well as an internal shock mount and multi-stage internal windshield, the AE6100 is rugged and durable, with exceptionally low handling noise and protection against pops, making it a fantastic on stage microphone.

Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones use a moving-coil or related robust capsule design and are often chosen for live sound, broadcast, drums, guitar cabinets, vocals and loud sources. They generally tolerate handling and high sound-pressure levels well, while many need more preamp gain than a sensitive condenser. Compare polar pattern, proximity effect, off-axis behaviour, grille and mounting, plus the available gain and noise performance of the interface or mixer. A dynamic microphone can be a focused close-range tool, but the model’s response and placement determine whether it suits speech, stage or instrument work.
