AE3300

Audio-Technica AE3300 – High-definition cardioid electret stage vocal microphone

The Audio-Technica AE3300 is a cardioid electret condenser vocal microphone designed to deliver exceptionally clear and detailed sound reproduction on stage. It features the capsule of the renowned AT4033 studio microphone, providing outstanding precision, realism and tonal transparency—rare qualities for a handheld stage model.

With its natural tonal balance, free from harshness or excessive brightness, the AE3300 enhances subtle vocal nuances while controlling sibilance effectively. The three-layer grille structure reduces pops and protects the capsule, while the internal mechanical isolation system significantly minimises handling noise.

Built for demanding touring environments, it includes a 80 Hz low-cut filter and a -10 dB pad to adapt the microphone to any stage situation. Manufactured in Japan with exemplary craftsmanship, it comes with a 15-year warranty, making it a trusted standard for professional singers, FOH engineers and touring providers seeking reliability and premium sound.
