Sweetwater Advice

Jeff Rodgers

The AE3000 is my new favorite instrument mic. It has an extremely low noise floor and sounds incredible. If you are looking to step up from the usual dynamics used on snare drums, guitars, and other instruments, the AE3000 is an excellent choice!

Very versatile and natural

If you work with Blues/Rock style bands then this is the perfect mic for you. It sounds great on Leslie top, Trumpet, Sax, Guitar, Toms. I've used to this on several live Jazz shows for toms and the natural tone of the drum translated directly to the P.A.
