Ambient Emesser ATE 308 Figure-8 Microphone

Share

The Ambient Emesser ATE 308 is a compact true condenser figure-eight microphone intended to convert any boom mic on-the-fly into a M/S stereo system. It allows you to add a bit of stage to the dialogue but also capture textured room tones or even ambience sounds in pristine stereo without the need to change your mic setup.

Featuring a high-quality real condenser powered on 48V phantom, the ATE308 delivers an enhanced dynamic range required for critical recordings. Due to the M/S technology and the same mic being used for dialogue and ambience recordings, seamless transitions between mono and stereo are feasible without alteration of the sound characteristics.

The frequency response was custom-tailored to match the acoustic pattern of typical boom mics at 90° with the characteristic distinct bass roll-off. The result is a distinguished stereo perception with pronounced presence and minimal negative phase correlation at the low end with exceptional good suppression of handling noise.
