AE5100 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone
The Artist Elite® AE5100 large diaphragm cardioid condenser instrument microphone provides uncompromising sound quality for overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, strings and other acoustic instruments. With rich, warm, accurate sound, the AE5100 also incorporates the most essential ingredients for quality live sound in a choir microphone. Its large-diaphragm capsule delivers accurate, natural response, while its low-profile design permits innovative placement options. With a lower profile than the large studio microphones to which it compares sonically, the AE5100 offers an outstanding performance-to-size ratio. With its low noise and smooth response, the AE5100 is ideal for recording, too.- Large-diaphragm capsule delivers accurate and natural response
- Low-profile design permits innovative placement options previously unattainable with a large-diaphragm condenser
- Cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of sounds from the sides and rear, improving isolation of desired sound source
- Robust design for enduring dependability on the road
- Includes isolation clamp for shock protection, secure mounting and easy positioning
- Integral 80 Hz HPF switch and 10 dB pad

A fine device for use in live trumpet performance!
Using the AE5100 in a live trumpet performance environment has proved to me again the extreme high quality of the Audio Technica line. Sound reinforcement at any playing volume is superb whether indoors or out. I have never experienced any negative issues with this device, and have made good use of the AE5100 for over six years now. Even when the part calls for vocal use, this device provides a most natural sound. I fully expect another several years of solid sound reproduction from this microphone. Please, take comfort in knowing that this microphone will faithfully serve as a most valuable and reliable tool for 'work' or 'play'. Sincerely, Andy, Medina, Ohio

I'm looking to record fingerstyle acoustic guitar. Between the AT4040 and the AE5100 is one better suited than the other?

Answer:Â
Both microphones would be excellent for recording finger-style acoustic guitar. When selecting microphones of this caliber, it becomes a matter of taste as to which microphone would be "better". Although both microphones are large-diaphragm condenser microphones, the AT4040 has a brighter sound and might be more versicle in the long run.Thanks!
