Audio-Technica AE5400 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Description
The Audio-Technica AE5400 is a professional handheld cardioid condenser microphone designed for live vocal performances, broadcasting, and stage applications. Featuring the same large-diaphragm condenser element used in the acclaimed AT4050 studio microphone, it delivers exceptional clarity, natural vocal reproduction, and studio-quality sound in a rugged handheld format.
