The AE6100 is a dynamic microphone with a hypercardioid polar pattern. It is designed specifically for close-up vocal use in professional live-sound applications. The hypercardioid polar pattern of the microphone is more sensitive to sound originating directly in front of the element, making it useful for controlling feedback, reducing pickup of unwanted sounds, and providing isolation between performers. 

The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. Its multi-stage grille design protects against plosives and sibilance without compromising high-frequency clarity. The included AT8470 quiet-Flex™ stand clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand with 5 /8"-27 threads. A soft protective pouch is also included.
