Audiotechnica AE2500 (dual element) out of the box test

[~BURNY~]

OD808-6505 run-of-the-mill settings-Mesa OS

50% condenser - 50% dynamic

No post fx/EQ whatsoever.

I don't know how different it is from the ATM250DE, but the AE2500 is a bit older and more expensive apparently.
I only purchased it because it was stupidly cheap (270 euros) not even expecting it to work properly.

Sorry I can't find the original thread where I found these DI. Pretty sure it's somewhere in the Practice Room. Credits to the author.

Sounds great Burny
It gets rid of the 5150 nasty top end without even touching an eq!
A much rounded and warmer sound compared to a 57

Thanks guys. Pretty happy with it. Only tried briefly on a kick drum but it sounds promising too. Very natural yet plenty of attack and low end.

Now I'm starting to GAS for the atm250DE too! I want both...
Call me micoholic.

On a couple of albums I have had good results combining the AE2500 with a 57 (on distorted guitars that is)...
You might want to try that out.

Try it on acoustic guitars

I've got the cheaper one (ATM250DE) pretty cool on guitar and snare!
