The Audio-Technica AE6100 is a dynamic hypercardioid microphone that cost 170 USD. The Audio-Technica AE6100 will make your voice sound full and rich. The warmth of this microphone is what shocked me; I could not believe how good it made my voice sound. The best part of it is that it only picks up your voice and nothing else. If I were to talk in it, then stop talking you would hear nothing coming from the speakers even though there are a bunch of people around all talking. At first I was comparing this microphone to the Shure Beta 58 but after using it more and more I have come to the conclusion that it is better than the Shure Beta 58.

OVERALL OPINION

The frequency response is 60Hz-15 kHz and the impedance is 250 ohms. The Audio-Technica AE6100 is more of a live microphone but you could use it in a studio if you want to record with it. I have done some personal mixes for a CD that I put out using the Audio-Technica AE6100 for my voice over and it sounded great. Now that was just putting a voice over, so I am not sure how it would work if you are really recording some vocals and fitting it right into the mix of your song.

The value for the price of the Audio-Technica AE6100 is spot on. It cost exactly what it should cost, not too much. The built in pop filter, provides great protection against those popping sounds and it is very tough. The Audio-Technica AE6100 is made to be taken from place to place to use. It comes with a stand clamp (but not a stand). Right out of the box the microphone will feel good in your hand, it has a good weight to it and you can tell that it is made out of quality materials.
